Cold weather
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi all, from Michigan USA.
Does weather affect anyone. As the weather has gotten colder (40's) I'm feeling worse. Took the predinsone back to 6.5, last year I had a flair at this level. I'll know more next week, monthly CRP.

Weather certainly affects me, but it always has (even as a child). However, I now have the "pleasure" of pain with it! Mind you, I can't imagine anyone out there who has rheumatism ISN'Taffected by weather.

On the other hand, the rest of me is.
If it gets below 21C degrees I'm usually wallowing in hell.
One of the reasons I can't stay long in Europe.

There is almost no arthritis to be found in the Indian sub-continent. It is found amongst ex-pats living in the UK but at a lower rate than amongst Caucasians (whites) but almost all ethnic patients who complain of arthritis in the UK say it goes away when they go home. Could be weather, could be diet - but probably the warmth.
I find it is wind and damp that affect me, dry cold or heat has little effect.

For me a side effect of the Pred is to cause me to feel warmer so I don't want to bundle up too much as the weather gets colder. Thank goodness for this forum...it allows us to chat about all the weird things that happen because of PMR

I think many of us find our thermostats have developed a fault! No socks for me - even when it was minus a lot outside! Since I have been on BP medication that has improved - I'm having to dig out the socks again!

But it is always a good idea to keep warm, and I too live in Michigan, so you also know how beautiful this fall has been with another gorgeous day today.
