Okay, I said lack of sleep is one of the worst things for someone with Fibromyalgia. Fibro fog must have made me forget that the cold is also extremely bad for my decrepit body. I live in Idaho. The very cold part of Idaho. We're Texans only up here going to school. Let me tell ya what a shock it's been to the body. Wow, it's been a shock. :) We usually get feet of snow and this part of Idaho is so incredibly windy, too. What's funny is that it's as humid here as it is in Texas. So it's the wet, down to your bones kind of cold. It's not an ideal setting for someone like me. Let me compare myself to your grandmother again. When you're old and your body doesn't work, you can't handle the cold because it makes your joints and muscles even more stiff, causing more pain. Ever wonder why people move to Florida in their golden years? It's no secret. Old, stiff bodies can't handle cold weather. Fibromites and older people are extremely cold intolerant (oy vey, I've heard horror stories of growing old WITH Firbo!) I can tell ya when a storm's a brewin'. I'll get a headache for sure, but my body will be incredibly stiff and hurts so much more. So non-stop cold is killer. I'll be yo grandma this winter, for sure.
