Which State Climates are good for People with PA/RA?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Does anyone know which States are good for people with PA and RA to live in?

I know some climates can be worse than others with Arthritis. We are

considering relocating, any climate tips would be helpful!

Thank You,

I lived in FL for 4 years. The warmth did help- but I found summer year-round

depressing. The Carolinas were a much better fit for me.

Hi Loraine

I think cold and dry is the best climate for me. I can always go

inside to warm up and bundle up when outside in the cold. Nothing

makes my ankylosed spine feel better than lying in cold dry snow. Hot

and hot moist are exhausing for me. I don't know if cold dry is as

good for the psoriasis component, however.

Best wishes,

Brent

I went to Puerto Aventuras (Mayan Riviera) for two weeks in April 2005. My

psoriasis disappeared and my PA symptoms were alleviated. This April I'm

travelling to Kauai for two weeks and anticipate the same good news. This past

late December, I travelled to Mission Beach, San Diego, and I also experienced

relief. It's definitely worth a try. Please keep me posted.

i've been living in FL for the last 11 years and even

though my PA is in remission at the moment, my P has

never been so bad!!!!

is too humid...

Maybe your right- hot and dry?

My P seems so much better when I get a little sun.

When I got pregnant with my second child it was the

first time in all my life I was totally P free- but a

week after he was born it came back with a vengence-

showing itself in places I had never had it before (my

trunk,arms.legs) I was in shock-The the PA hit

in....and I knew I was in trouble.

My first pregnancy didn't help the P at all- so it was

really strange with my second everything went away and

I was like healed!

One thing I have noticed- if I get stressed out- or

upset- The pain just sets in....

If I do too much house work (like the spoon story) My

spoons are all used up for the next day....I can't

even get out of bed.

Well, you guys keep talking about the natural

medicine.

I like a few other in here do not want to take the

hard stuff just because I have a few fingers, toes and

ankles swollen. I would rather try the alternative

route and if it doesn't help I will start the more

traditional route.

This chat has been a big help...by the way....thanks guys.

Yes- my point...Somehow the warmth just makes me

symptom free! I know the swimming really helped- etc...

Amy, we live in north-central Florida for the winter, and back to Anoka

Minnesota for the (short) summer. Florida is a gift from god, Minnesota winters

would have killed me. Florida summers are very hot and humid, I love it, my PA

loves it, my wife does not. I highly recommend the Gainesville Florida region.

English is still the language of choice here, no hurricains, inexpensive

property values. Hope this helps your decision, it was the best decision we

ever made. Thanks, Bob Bowman
