I'm with you dotty
My hands resemble a pound of sausages in the heat.

The snow suits me better.

Yep, I hate the heat now, try ot to even go outside in the mid-day sun. It makes me feel washed out and just generally ill, and throb.
I used to be a sun worshipper, as soon as sun was out in the morning till it went down.

My pains aren't worse in the heat.....cold and damp make me worse but this humidty we have at the minute.....is dreadful. Its what I call hedachy weather......got a headache all the time and feel quite sick......so not really arthur but I prefer to dive into the cool house when its like this.

Love

no, you are not alone Dotty, my joints are inflamed and very painful. My GP always asks, "do things ease when the weather is hot"? NO they don't, sorry, I was shouting there. Cold does the same, so you can't win. :roll:

I am with you on this Dotty. I thought it was me being the odd ball. I just chose to keep quiet

Nothing in my body wants to work at the moment and everything is swelling.

Cold bath I think LOL
