Do any of you also experience this? Even when I get into my car without the seat warmer on or if I have the cold air on, I ache terribly!

Yes cold is bad for us RA peeps. Drafts are bad for us RA peeps. Wind is very bad for me and I think a lot of other RA peeps. Both my physiotherapist and my rheumy have confirmed that I need to keep warm, stay out of drafts, and especially wind or I could flare. So I know what you're talking about.

Gotta love the car seat warmer, though, right?
