still have flare ups if your inflamation is high, sat hear watching the snow cant wait for summer.0 -
Hi mylo
I'm not sure if its a mind thing, although i feel the cold quite bad these days. The Ra can and does for me flair in the summer. i think perhaps the summer just puts us in a better state of mind.

Hi, my RA is alot worse in the cold weather, even the tips of my fingers go numb, usually I am much better in the warmer weather, but it seems to affect different people in other ways love Jaspercatxx0 -
oh summer, heat just makes me feel so much better. once the weather changes my whole body just sucks up the cold, i then think i get used to it and defrost in the spring

I find the cold aggravates the reynauds in my fingers but if I'm having a flare, the heat of the summer can make me feel so much worse.
It's the same for me if the room or bed is too warm.
In my younger years, the change of seasons seemed to make things worse but then they'd settle.
