I’m going to be the oddball. I get way more flareups and breathing problems in the warmer weather. I use gel ice packs constantly. We have a lot of grandchildren plus my husband and sons all play hockey..so I love the cold in the arena.

I agree the warm weather is so much better

I live in upstate NY and truly believe when I go to southwest Florida for a couple weeks, I sleep better, wake up with no stiffness, have way more energy. Just feel sooooo much better when I am there. I go to the beach almost everyday I am there and I think it is the warm SUN that soaks in my body that makes my body feel RA free!
Also, not being at work, less stress and lots of relaxing is a bonus when I am at the beach!

I noticed I feel my best (little RA pain) in temperatures above 70 degrees F. That said, when the temps are below 60, then I know I have to take care to bundle up in layers, add slippers to my compression stocking feet, and even wear hand warmers while working around the house. Definitely get a hat and scarf out when the temps go below 40 and I have to go outside. So, I'm in agreement that environmental temperature can effect how you are feeling. I venture to Florida during winter months and head back to the northeast when Spring arrives. Enjoy your day everyone!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I have wanted to move back to Arizona my whole life,, but its not in the cards, I live in MN,, ugh,, but now my grandbabies are here so Im not going anywhere unless theydo.. but yes the hot dry air would work wonders for me.
