A report from MR, who is from the Pacific Northwest:
I have been to Cancun twice, Jamaica three times and St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and St. Maarten each one time. I usually stay ten nights when I go. Some of it may be that I'm on vacation, but I have been in extreme pain, and lots of fatigue when I leave, and the flights are always long, so I'm usually exhausted when we arrive. But with in a day or two I feel great, I get my appetite back, I have little to no pain, and just feel better all over. Normally it takes every bit of strength to get up and go somewhere, I was able to do all day tours without needing to nap, and felt good the whole time. I sleep alot at home, on vacation, i don't need the sleep, although i love laying in the sun and taking a nap. But we have decided I need to be somewhere warm. If we could up and move to the carribean we would. Just not sure what we would do for work there.
I usually stay ten nights when I go. Our last trip was in October to Jamaica, It was very humid. I have never been in weather that humid before, but I felt wonderful. I have been told humidity is good for fibro. I am contemplating getting a humidifier for my bedroom. We are also thinking of retiring in either the Yucatan or Jamaica, or maybe some other Island in the carribean, We have been to a couple other islands as well. As soon as we get home I feel back to my fibro self. It's amazing the difference I feel when I get to the Carribean. I sleep like a normal person, and I have energy, I feel like doing things, I rarely need pain meds. If you have the means to go, I highly suggest it. We have talked about liquidating everything and going. If I didn't have children and grandchildren I probably would.
