having a cold and arthritis

Evening,
I was diagnosed with RA in March and am on methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. I'm currently bunged up with a cold and have noticed my 'problem' joints are feeling a bit achy. I'm just wanting reassurance that this is normal for someone with arthritis.
Thanks!

Check your temperature. I've always found that anything that raises mine, even slightly, sets off the RA.
There are some nasty colds about. Stay warm and safe and drink plenty. I hope yours goes soon.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
