Weather and Still's

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Sorry to hear you’re in more pain lately.

I too have more pain now in the damper periods but it doesn’t necessarily have

to be winter. It never affected my Still’s as to the overall course of the

disease but I’ve found that especially over the years it does affect the

damaged joints or flared arthritic joints with the damp weather.

Hope you can warm up and feel better. I’m sure our members in Europe feel it

more with the extra fog and such.

Wishes for better days,

Over here in England, UK I notice I often flare when Winter suddenly comes

in - it'll start lashing it down (raining hard) and over the years noticed a

pattern emerge..

While I am newly diagnosed I do believe I have had probably since the age of 4

and then it came back and became AOSD in the last 3 yrs I am 25. I to noticed a

pattern of still's symptoms that I had at the time thought to be illnesses they

seem to come around in the winter months for me as well. I live in North Dakota,

US very very cold winters here. Among the coldest in the country! I think

may be right as far as if you do have arthritis that will feel worse with the

colder weather. I supposedly have no arthritic damage but I get the fevers &

rash as well. Feels like an allergy type of sickness but very severs usually

occurs b/w Dec. & Mar. for me. So it maybe b/c of the Still's in some people.
