I have been not well for about a month.Curious as to whether others are in a flare period where it is worse now with the weather change, even tho it's not really cold out. It still is a season change and my body reacts to it as I ache more than I did this summer.

I definetly agree with you soleil, im aching all over right now, it doesn't end. I keep taking my pain pills, but im in fear that I will run out and then what am i going to do. Its not fair life shouldn't have to be like this should it? But yes again i would say the last month has definetly been horrid.

I am also flaring pretty badly. The season change is in full effect here in Connecticut. I woke up to 2 inches of snow this morning!

Summer is my best time of the year, and Autumn always hits me pretty hard.

I hope that your flare is short-lived.

I think the barometric pressure has a definite effect on us. When a storm is brewing, I feel lousy. I can always feel the cold coming in a few days before the "weather-guessers" predict it. Those are the days I just want to stay at home in bed or curl up with a good book by the fire. Too bad that's not reality and I have to come to work! Hahaha! On the flip side, I don't do well when it is really hot either, do any of you experience flare ups in the dead of summer? I live in Utah and we had countless days of well over 100 degrees this summer, I thought I would die. Because I already have a lot of swelling in my joints, the heat caused more swelling and water retention and the pain was insane.

I guess must be something in Fort Worth too. This started about a week ago. Neck and shoulder, hips, I mean I hurt all over. "Run over by a Mack truck" is about accurate only he backed up and ran over me again!!

I walk around like 100. I do things because I have to, going to grocery store, laundry, SAMs or Walmart but I pay for it later.
