Humid Vs Arid: Living With Fibro
I cannot find a definitive answer online to the effects of humidity on fibro. I found 1 that states lower humidity causes more flares overall which actually surprised me
I’m not talking about rain. I know that affects me. Of course having a more humid climate means more rain
It seems maybe the areas with less change are more comfortable for us rather than the actual humidity?
I really want a beach area but have worried about the humidity. Now, I’m thinking the beach may be the way to go.

High humidity seems to exacerbate these symptoms, possibly because it makes the heat feel even more oppressive. Patients with a sensitivity to cold also report feeling worse in humid, clammy conditions. When the weather gets warm, fibromyalgia patients with heat sensitivity need to pay close attention to their bodies.
I have MS and the humidity really wrecks havac with it. A lot of people with MS move to Arizona because it's dry heat. I told my husband if we were younger, we'd move there but it would be impossible now. It's SO hot and humid where we live in NC and it lasts usually through all of September and sometimes into October. I need to hibernate inside where it's cool until summer is over.
We lived in the mountains east of San Diego for six years, it was high desert and summer temps were in the 90’s - low 100’s every day. At night the temps dropped to 70. It was very dry with single digit humidity. I didn’t have fibro at that time but I know this spring here at the beach we had temps in the 70’s during the day and a 30-40 degree drop at night. Those drastic changes killed me every night. Now even though it’s humid the day/night difference isn’t as drastic and I feel better.
If I had the finances I would be the first to go find that healing ground. Unfortunately with our ozone issues, would there be any place for us to live and be comfortable. Wishing you the best , let me or us know if you make that move. God's love be with you.
The changes in barometric pressure cause me a lot of problems
