Oh, that sounds painful, Marilee! You are probably a better weatherman than all the weathermen combined. I take leflunomide in addition to my Humira injections. I didn't think the leflunomide was working until I had to come off of it to have rotator cuff surgery from a wreck I was in 2 years ago, but my pain levels shot through the roof while I was off of it so I suppose it is working after all.

chondrocalcinosis is pseudo-osteoarthritis. It causes crystals in the joints of wrist, knees, elbows, anywhere there are joints; hands also.

Those of us with RA are pretty good barometers. We feel the weather changing, usually before the weathermen catch on. I do not know what Chondrocalcinsis is so I can't comment on whether or not the weather changes affect it or not, but either way, Mother Nature can make all of us miserable from time to time.
