The weather can be a real drag when you suffer from Fibromyalgia. Sunny days can cause rashes and even cause you to have a flare! Rainy days can cause a flare as well. What to do???<\/h3>\n

I have begun applying sunscreen each day as part of my morning routine. I use Neutrogena Beach Defense Water + Sun Protection 70 spf<\/em>. It has Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 4.5% and Oxybenzone 4 % which offer broad spectrum coverage from both UVA and UVB rays. This is important for those who develop sun rashes due to Fibro and Lupus. I am one of those blessed people!<\/p>\n

I have also invested in a few broad-rimmed hats to keep those sun beams from hitting my face and neck. I found one at Cracker Barrel Store & Restaurant this past spring and the I found two more at a Dollar General Store. (I happened upon them quite by accident as I was running in to grab something else!) I ended up buying two of them because they were-<\/p>\n

1.) big and floppy<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

2.) only $6.00 each!!<\/p>\n

I must say they are my favorite hats so far!<\/p>\n

I am also thrilled at the clothing styles of today!!! Gone is the tight-fitting top and dress!<\/p>\n

**Finally!! Yeah!!!**<\/p>\n

Fibros know that loose-fitting clothing is a better choice for sensitive skin irritations! The peasant top is my new favorite. Long sleeves or at least three-quartered sleeves are a skin saver, even in summer! Yes. You read correctly. S-u-m-m-e-r. Those long sleeves are a must in summer and the peasant top offers loose-fitting, long sleeves that actually keep you cool!! I invested in several of them-some from Cracker Barrel (I love that store!) and some from Kohl’s and one I found on clearance at Wal-Mart!<\/p>\n

Regardless of where you shop, just make sure your arms are covered and you stay cool! (That sounds like an oxymoron…stay covered and stay cool…haha)<\/p>\n

….and don’t forget the sunscreen! All these precautions may not prevent a flare, but they may help minimize them.<\/p>\n

Happy August-stay covered and cool!<\/p>\n
