Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi Tim: That's a hard question to answer, because everybody is different. It seems that my flares come more often with changes in weather, more rainy, cloudy, more humid, more moisture, and so this past weekend, and this week have been, and will continue to be hard with the rain we are expecting here in not-so-sunny california. However, I can also flare during the summers when it is 100 degrees, so RA is very unpredictable. Also, I have found that I can no longer tolerate my occasional glass of wine because that now causes my hands to swell and become more painful. You will find as you go that certain foods might cause pain too, it's just kind of a learn as you go thing. Hopefully your doctor has you on medications for your RA, and when they start working well for you, then your flares should become less. I hope that today is a better day for you - Kathe in CA --- stoddardtim <tstoddard@...> wrote: > i am still new to this ra thing, i was just > wondering how often > do the flair ups happen, i seem to get bad ones > every other week > thanks tim > > > > > > > Kathe " To ride a horse is to borrow freedom.
