Donna,

It is 2pm here and just woke up and had to take Gidget out to use

the bathroom. looked at me in her gown and said Ma how cold is it

out there? I said well step outside and find out lolololol. said hey

now I am in just my gown and like a Mom I said well it is Gidget who has to go

out no matter what lolol Ok I gave in when she said Ma can you take her out

since your already dressed? lolol Gidget was holding back on the Leash and

really did not want to go out. I took her on out with her little feet on that

snow and Ice so she went to a sunny spot and went and high tailed it to the

door lololol She did not run she kinda hopped on odd legs hoping not to touch

the Ice lololol. I got to laughing and told well you better be so Glad

we have inside plumbing now as it would be you and Gidget heading out

together to the Out House lololololol. I could just see and Gidget

trying

that as Gidget would run and would be so slow

lololol Gidget would get there and back before got half way to the

Outhouse lololol.

Across the US is bitterly cold Temps. In Atlanta, Ga it is 17 Degrees

now. Has this front caused any issues with the Kid's with JA? I noticed

is sleeping more than normal since Friday. As Yesterday we got Snow and Sleet

here. Now the Deep Freeze. I feel for those who live North as I see where

the Temps are below zero. Stay Warm though.

we woke up this morning to a temp of -11, wind chill was somewhere in the -30's.

Hannah has been really tired the last 2 days and has had her knees and wrists

are acting up. I bought some of those new heat wraps for hands and she loves

them!

We are building a fire in the fireplace as I type and will settle in for the

football games today...Go Pack!

Sending prayers & happy thoughts,

Hi Gang,

We've been between 74 and 76 degrees F. Beautiful sunshiny day, on this little

tropical island. Kayla and friends are on their way to the beach.

I spent far too many years in the blustery cold winters of the North-East. Don't

miss it at all! I know everybody says the snow looks so pretty and all and some

talk about how they'd miss the seasonal changes. Well, we've got seasonal

changes too. It rains sometimes, in the winter. Nope. The cold is just not for

me. Life seems so much simpler and more pleasant when the climate is mild

throughout the year. I LOVE the warm winters and mild summers of the islands.

Sending warm thoughts ...

Cynde,

The Weather can play a roll with Arthritis Flares. I have 2 Sister's who

can tell you that. Then well she can tell me about the Weather better

than the Weatherman. lolololol.

If the weather stayed one way Cold the flares would do better. Or if the

weather stayed warm. But the Ups and Downs of Low and High Fronts will get to

the Bone. Damp weather will cause to flare worse. But the Dry air

can cause a Issue if the temps are up and down. The Temps here in Georgia will

go from 17 tonight to 40 tomorrow and then by Tuesday it will be rainy and 50

Degrees. Change in the weather like this is what happens in the winter so

Winter was the worse time for . Rainy seasons are to but since we are in

a Drought down here Rain is something we wish for.

Weather can play a role with Migraines as well.

Well I do believe it is about this time of the year every single year that I am

about ready to pack up and move WARM. I do not like the stinkin cold. I am tired

of this stuff. But I am pretty sure that I will probably never move away from

here. With five kids, three grandbabies and a fourth on the way I will probably

stay close to here.? This cold sure is playing havoc with Jaye's joints

though. The up and down is the worst part of it. When it just stays cold she

seems to get better for a bit but as soon as it changes even for the warmer she

has problems. I am ready for spring though. No matter what changes we have here

it seems to bother her so I am thinking that at least we ought to be happy and

be able to get outside and go for a nice walk.

Can anyone tell me if your kiddos are better when summer comes?? I am wondering

if the heat makes a flair too?

I am in the California Sierra mountains and it gets cold here but no where near

the cold some of you are feeling. It gets to the high 30s during the day on a

cold day and down to 19 or so at night is the lowest. Sometimes it can be in the

60s in the winter but not usually. Summers are hot90/103 with NO rain all

summer. No humidity tho.

I have determined that the cold, the warm, the nice, the every type of weather

makes a flare. Some seem to have more difficulty certain times I think. So far I

have noticed with my daughter that the change is what seems to cause her the

biggest trouble. Going from summer to fall has been the worst for her but she

seems to get settled with the cold and doing good and then when it changes to

warm again she has problems. I am sure just like everything else every one is

different and they react to everything in their own way. I pray for and expect

Jaye to feel good every single day no matter what the weather gives us. I

believe in having a positive attitude and try to show that to my kids so that

they will not expect the worst.? Veri

Great ida Vera! God wants us to pray expecting him to answer. I have arthritis

too but no dx of ra. The weather changes are what bothers me the most too. This

week when our little grandaughter had a prob..it had been warmer and it turned

cold. I will watch for this pattern.

thanks for answering me!

Thanks Robbin..sounds like me...I can always tell when the barimetric pressure

is changing. My hubby always laughs cause I am like the weatherman. I have OA

and have always thought I have something else although my RA and ANA are always

neg. I have abnormal spinal fluid in the pattern of ms but no leisons and not

progressive. Sometimes I wonder if we find out the dx of our grandaughter..maybe

I will get a dx at the same time..who knows??

Since we live in the High Sierra's of Calif..the weather changes here often and

fast. The storms get sucked up here in the mountains. Anni looked great in the

summer. We took a picture with us to the doctors at Children's so they could see

how different she looked!

Don't know if you know her story?? Anni is her name and my daughter is Aly.

Does the joint swelling always get worse during a flare? How does the other sx

of systemic ie..heart etc show up? With this fever how does one know if it is

causeing inflammation somewehere that you can't see..especially if she is not

feeling well?

Hi - since rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disorder, anything that

triggers the immune system an trigger a flare.? Some of my son's worst flares

have been in the spring or summer.? I'm not saying that the winter cold doesn't

have an affect - will experience come pain and stiffness (particularly

worse in the mornings) when the weather is more cold or damp - some research

shows that the barometric pressure plays a part as well in the arthritic

symptoms - but a true flare, from our experience has nothing to do with the

weather.
