I've noticed for a long time now I seem to have more problems with RA in warmer/hot weather I feel done in no energy well fatigued anyone else notice problems with different weather conditions.
Yes, hot weather seems to drain all my energy.. I use a rollator (like a ziimmer frame with wheels and a seat) to help me get about because I fall over with a walking stick. I have noticed that I have to stop and sit really often when it is hot. Because of my pride, I always tell myself to go a bit further before sitting down but lately that has not been happening. Colder weather affects my fingers and makes them painful..
I've always heard that cold weather was bad.
I did a little research and found that hot weather actually made it worse .
My symptom's get much worse in the heat.
Depends on how hot you are talking about. I only go outside sporatically when it is hot and stay inside with air conditioner. When fall ends and the cold weather comes, it takes me two weeks to aclimmate and in these two weeks, my joints hurt.
It's totally opposite for me. The cold weather makes me much worse. I love the summer (even though I still have pain and get flare ups), because it keeps my joints more loose than the colder weather. I think everyone has a different story, though. RA is such a personal story for each person. Everyone reacts differently.
