Cold and PA

Just noticing others talking about how the cold affects PA. & nbsp; I think

it does, also. & nbsp; I lived in a northern region of canada for almost

6 years and it was my second year there that my PA hit me (overnight, as

was the case with someone else here). & nbsp; It was extremely dry there

and that did not help the psoriasis either. & nbsp; I moved to a damp, warmer

area (Newfoundland) 2 years ago and my PA <i>seems</i> to be doing better. & nbsp;

I read in a medical journal a few years ago that changes in atmospheric

pressure certainly can affect your joints. & nbsp; Everyone experiences it,

but anyone with joint problems, like ourselves is much more sensitive to

it. & nbsp; So, according to that, the weather certainly CAN affect your

arthritis. & nbsp; Now, I find that rain and dampness can reak havoc on me

at times, but it's much better than it was at 50celsius below in the dead

of winter! & nbsp; And of course my psoriasis has made enourmous progress. & nbsp;

So there is another vote for weather affecting your arthritis!
