Best city to live

Sorry if this has been asked before but what's everyone's opinion on the best place to live for fibromyalgia. The cold and damp make me hurt so I'm thinking a desert location. Anyone have an opinion on San Diego or Tuscon? thanks!

I have fibrous, and my husband and I live in Wisconsin. We are moving to NV this may. What you want is a dry heat. I/have been there to visit for a week, and the difference so so great. Within a day or two I feel so much better. So that is what we are doing. If there is humidity, it still causes me pain. I will be glad to get out of this weather, and living with less pain.

My 1st comment..I live in Flagstaff AZ and have had Fibro for 12yrs. Fortunately my doctor diagnosed it early and is very supportive. Cymbalta works for me and seems to reduce nerve pain and give a little help with depression.  Have found alternative methods work best. Take herbal remedies,(skullcap) which I call my witches brew, did 1yr acupuncture..need very experienced Dr for that, chiropractic,and get energy healing/massage every 2wks. Theory is to keep immune system strong and make the body as healthy as possible. Have switched to organic foods,if not available soak in white vinegar/water for 15min (especially berries)  Found that curcumin (Tumeric) helps with swelling/pain, buy from a co called 'stop aging now'..still aging though! Started taking supplement of Monolaurin from Lauricidin and after 3wks I'm feeling better, said to attack any virus you have in the body.  Found  website which has supplement specifically for Fibromyalgia.  Will try it and post results. AZ dry climate is great. 7K ft Flagstaff altitude not so good but find happiness and acceptance vital for progress. Don't give up and research every new information until you find what helps you.  Natural healing takes longer but comes without the side effects or addiction. Whatever works for you.  Hope this helps someone.

I live in Surrey ND about 6 miles from Minot.  ND definitely not good place for fibro.  Have been having lots of pain.  Worse today due to the extreme cold.  We have a home near Phoenix.  I feel better when there, except for during the summer months.
