Marina,

I live in Pa., and the humidity is terrible here. This has been my worst

summer with this disease. I hurt everywhere and I am so tired. I know it is in

part due to

the humidity. The real kick in the pants is I can't stand to be in air

conditioning either. I simply long for the fall. I also thought since I feel

so bad maybe now

is the time to try to cut back a little on the predisone. My Rheumy has wanted

me to try this for awhile. Since I can't take any of the bone support medicine

he is

concerned. So this is not a good summer for me. But I do know the humidity

plays a big part in the additional pain and fatigue level.
