Re: Best U.S. cities for rheumatoid arthritis patients?

[Guest guest]

well, I live on the southern shore of the Great Lake Ontario = western

New York State. I prefer winter = at least it is dry. The rest of the

year is just too damp/wet and I hate heat...I do not like to

sweat...doing enough of that due to menopause and some meds. == my

sister is in Houston and it always seems to be raining there...gentle

hugs! Marcia

People move to arizona. The heat is vicious I think but it is dry and not much weather happens there. If you dont mind the occassional road runner or snake (ewwwww) my best friend and her whole family moved there and are very happy. She has RA and Lupus also. I live in Maine and I wont even start on that after two feet of snow and below zero temps. Hockey sticks is right. Hugs, Deborah

Currently, I live in Houston and the temps are now in the high 30s this week. Not good for an arthritis patient who has to be at work at 7:30 a.m. I thought about Hawaii, but my former boss (a professor) says

that Hawaii is not as warm and people think--go figure--I always thought it was. Does anyone have any suggestions, without me having to leave the country. ;-)Thanks!Kathy
