My Fibromyalgia is so bad in the winter time my joints are hurting so bad does anyone have any tips or ideas?

On some pain management I am takeing pain pills but they really dont work that much.

During the winter, my heating pad is my best friend. I also use a product like BioFreeze directly on the joint. There are others such as Theragesic. The downside of BioFreeze is you can't use it with the heating pad. Some ppl have had success with Salon Pas. Lidoderm patches are good but you need a prescription. Gentle exercise to keep the joints loose is good, just don't overdo & end up sorer. For me, the biggest thing is to stay warm & heat my joints as soon as the ache starts. Good luck. I think we all dread the winter.

don't drink dark soda
don,t eat red meats
and do a lot of walking if you can
