babytiger

All this damp rainy, clammy weather seems to playing havoc with my body ,my knee is really painful again and has started clicking,Also my hands which don't usually start playing up till winter time have decided its time to seize up on me,with cramps wich makes it hard to hold walking stick ... Think I will emigrate lol (I wish)

For me, this weather is most definitely playing havoc with enjoying pottering in the garden and being at the allotment.

I enjoyed the sunshine slot this afternoon, even had time to get the cushions out for the chairs and sit round the table in the garden and take tea and cake with relatives. Did not bother with the umbrella, got to get the rays when one can! We knew it would not last and it did not. :roll:

Did manage to trim the ivy round the raised bed so can tick one chore off the long list. As to how it affects my arthritis, makes no difference really. I do feel less lethargic when it is not so hot though. Every cloud has a silver lining!

Whenever its damp I have problems, and its been damp for 5 weeks now, we also had a monsoon here yesterday afternoon I thought the river was going to burst its banks beside my house!

Please can we have some sunshine!?!

Hi Baby, I 100% agree this changable weather has something to do with starting my flare up! As this flare up is slightly different to to my normal ones. This one seemed to effect 3 area's firstly then spread to another 2 area's. Where normally when I have a flare up it hits the area's all in one hit. Hope this attack clears up quickly for you.

I manage to cope with my knee as Im used to that playing up and being painful but its my hands that's bothering me.Last night in bed they were bad,kept cramping up and the pain.. think Im gonna have to go to docs about them now... never mind life lkes chucking things at me at the moment

I'm sorry you're all struggling in this weather. I have been swollen and flarey too. When it's hot and muggy, I find ice packs are really useful. Helps with feeling hot too!

Hi all, I'm new

I've also been worse with the damp and chill (OA in hip) but on the plus side the rain means there are less people to dodge in the street! Because I limp I always find people veer into my path because they obviously can't tell where I'm heading, so at least that's one good thing about the rain!

refereerick

Me too! Spent half the day in bed yesterday due to the pain of the extra swelling. All my normal joints that swell (fingers/hands, wrist, elbow, knee, ankle and toes/feet) all swelled up together. Hopefully it'll be a bit more settled today and we'll all be more comfortable!
Take care all, Rick xx

It's dreadful here as well...I thought we were going to have a monsoon as well yesterday....today its raining quite hard but doesnt seem as bad as yesterday.
It does affect my joints....makes me more achey......but not much worse.
The sun makes me feel much better.....the sun not humidity
Love

Yes yes yes yes! I thought stopping the methotrexate would be best done over summer - you know when that warm and dry weather tends to make it all a bit calmer...I could emigrate right now.
