The cold weather is killing me!

Hey all.  I am new and have an appointment with a surgeon on Tues. 19th.  Also have Chronic Fatigue and Fibro since 1987.  Don't work anymore as an R.N.  I do go to aqua fit x3 weekly.  Not a pretty pix but it is the only place that I literally don't hurt.  I put on my aqua belt and just hang there before and after fitness class.  Doesn't mean I don't hurt later but I earned this pain which somehow makes it easier to take.  I also hurt much more in the cold weather and I live outside Toronto, Canada....the great white north.  43 degrees sounds balmy to me.  On the other hand I can't take too much heat.  Hot tubs make my muscles spasm.  Course I am menopausal so I can keep myself pretty warm.!! :-)  I have put on most of my excess weight in the last four years and have been more sore.  Hoping weight loss will help some.  take care all.  LAGLASS...try aquafit if you can.....  Arthritis classes here are usually held in a much warmer, shoulder height pool and believe me, here at least, no one has much to brag about body wise as most in my class are in 80's.

 If anything my pain is worse after my weight loss--the cold is so much worse--the fog is worse. I have now adjusted to the weight loss--the horrible lower and middle back pain has 'balanced' out. I cannot believe how bad the fatigue is considering I have 100 lbs. less of me to drag about. Would I do this surgery again? YES YES YES. My body is so much more comfortable and I can move around so much more easily. I too had expected to be 'better' and am very disappointed that I am not but life is easier in many ways and shopping for jeans is now a blast. It was still worth it. This years unusually cold temps. have made the pain and fatigue and fog the worst I have ever had (quality of life is poor) BUT it was still worth it. Christine

i am new on here. i was diagnosed with Fibro and pinched nerves in dec 2009. in took them a year to find why i was in so much pain. they have tried everything possible and I thnk every med possible.nothing seems to work . i am currently on 6 different med and am so foggy not good with a 2 yr old.its so bad i can't concentrate while driving, i almost hit another car coming back from doc the other day with son in car.scary.I don't go anywhere cause it hurts to move and yes all my docs do not believe in pain meds. but now they are talking about the Lap Band since I am overweight. They said it will relieve some of the pain. Anyone have Fibro and has had the Lap Band ??? tonya
