Has anybody else had painful day? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Hi there, I live in New England, and we got an awful storm today. I felt it coming last night. My muscles, especially bottom legs, were extremely sore, they were throbbing with pain, and tender to touch last night. Every time I got up it took me a couple of minutes to get going. Today, same thing, all day my muscles and joints were sore. I am tired too, I took a 2 hour nap with my kids, thank goodness! My legs had the same extreme pain as last night and I just needed to lay down in bed. Usually I am just extremely sore in the morning, if I have over done it, and at night, but today I just needed to rest. I was sore everytime I moved. My tmjd/myofascial pain also was sore (as usual), and I had a couple of stabbing pains that almost took me to the floor. I am glad it is bedtime, and maybe tomorrow will be better. I have not had an official diagnosis on my body pain, but can anybody help me with what might be wrong? And did anybody else have this today due to weather? I know flare-ups can happen anytime, and I have them randomly too. Help please. In advance thank you for your time and responses.

I live in New England too (Boston). Yes, I was in horrible pain the last 2 weeks due to the very cold weather, rain and snow. My hands, knees and ankles were killing me!

I'm a New Englander also and this winter has been just awful for pain. I have head, neck and back pain ( diagnosed as FIBRO and nerve pain in my face. Also burning and tingling nerve pain in my right foot and everyday as been a challenge. I work full time and by the end of the day I just want to go home and lay down.
Fortunately my kids are grown and gone so it's just my husband and I. As soon as I get supper over with I am done with the day. I end up going to bed a 8 PM, but I try to read every night because it's my only escape.

hi east girls,
hey, even here in "sunny" california the weather does the same thing. we have had cold weather and even a bit of snow. nothing like what you all have, just pretty. however, the changes in weather kick my fanny too. we are weather vanes. our bodies know and warn us. it mostly hits my legs and back.
in the winter i also nap alot. i think we get so tired because our bodies need a break from the feeling of our pain. sleep offers that, even if briefly.
peace filled sweet dreams,
