Rheumatism or Rheumatic disorder

I would like to show everyone what i learned today...

First off, I have had this for as long as i can remember and today it got really bad and unfortunately i wans't home to take any medicine for it so i had to wait it out. So now that i am home i wanted to learn what exactly it is. This is what i came up with...

"Rheumatism or Rheumatic disorder is a non-specific term for medical problems affecting the heart, bones, joints, kidney, skin and lung. The term 'rheumatism' is still used in colloquial speech and historical contexts, but is no longer frequently used in medical or technical literature; it would be fair to say that there is no longer any recognized disorder simply called 'rheumatism.' Some countries use the word Rheumatism to describe fibromyalgia syndrome.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a human disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia. While the criteria for such an entity have not yet been thoroughly developed, the recognition that fibromyalgia involves more than just pain has led to the frequent use of the term 'fibromyalgia syndrome'. It is not contagious, and recent studies suggest that people with fibromyalgia may be genetically predisposed.(Thank you Harold :)
There appears to be no firm evidence in favor or against but, it has been concluded that 'changes in barometric pressure are the main link between weather and pain. Low pressure is generally associated with cold, wet weather and an increase in pain. Clear, dry conditions signal high pressure and a decrease in pain'."

Now i'm pretty sure this is what it is. i always forget exactly what its called but basically the way i describe it is that when the weather changes, my legs hurt and sometimes my head does too. Now i can remember a few times when it was just terrible. The pain can be unbearable sometimes. I can remember waking up in tears when i was little. but that is only sometimes most of the time i can deal. But today was pretty bad, normally my legs but today it went all the way up to my hips. it was weird. them hips don't lie. i later found out that it was going to rain.
My favorite story is when my friend Stacey and I were coming home after spending Easter with some friends out of town up north a bit and it snowed! It was so much fun. but as we started to head home the snow started to melt and it started warming up. so about 20 mins into the drive my legs start to kill me. I tried to just block out the pain, but it wasn't working. it was still freezing outside to i thought "hey, maybe i can numb the pain." So 1am in freezing weather i stick my legs out the window going 70 down the interstate. It became a game on lets see how long Kristi can go with her feet sticking out the window. best thing is it worked! (until the medicine kicked in)

I think it is kinda cool though. its like my own personal weather channel.
