I am the same way. My body alerts me to any barometric changes. Rainy weather is the worst for me.

It doesn't matter if it is cold or hot- the barometric pressure changes throw me into pain. I can usually predict rain, storms or snow by my joints. I have only been diagnosed with ra for 2 years now, but have always felt the weather changes since I was a child. My parents would take me to doctors and they would say it was "growing pains".

Indeed ... I don't mind winter at all. Spring is a bugger. Barometric changes and I wonder - allergens - cause a commotion in my symptoms. The changing of seasons always provides symptoms; some seasons are better than others. Stress being my #1 culprit.

DorothyCedano I too do worse in the summer when the storms are blowing in and out. I find if we have a winter where it gets cold and stays cold I do better except for my hands. My friends laugh me for wearing gloves or mittens when I might be wearing only a light jacket or a sweatshirt.

Thanks Julie....That's okay, my neighbors already think I'm crazy for a variety of other reasons! LOL
