Seems like there are quite a few of us going through this all of a sudden at the same time right now. The weather here in Alberta Canada has changed from hot and dry all summer to a very wet damp cold (Fall). This has me in a lot of pain and discomfort. I'm freezing and just want to sleep so I don't ache and hurt:( I'm also super foggy and can't get words out properly this past week at! Anyone else notice this when the weather changes?!?

Happens to me all of the time when there is a change in the weather. Bracing myself for hotter weather next week. I will probably be joining you in the flare department. Feel better soon!

We are still having 90 and above weather but I start to panic when it gets to the end of September because I know the weather is going to change and my pain and other symptoms are going to get worse. The mornings are already getting cooler so I have to wear a jacket when I walk Anny. I definitely feel the difference in my pain level, even with the 60 degree mornings. Hugs Gramybear

Yeah, the weather doesn't help. I'm in northern Ohio too....so blasted humid. Today is our church picnic. I want to go so badly! But 85 and humid outside...my anxiety is cranking up so bad. I made watermelon salsa last night....and I'm going to try this, even though I'm barely hanging on. Luckily tomorrow I've got no plans so I can try to recover.

And my flare went bad to worse because (drumroll) Hot and Humid Virginia just went ot Cool and Humid with a chance of Cool and Dry in about.... oh, 36 hour period.... OW....

Yep, spring and fall can really bring it on. Irony? I'm usually a summer flare person---humidity and heat ramp up the FM for me---but this wacky weather has even my FM confused.

Gentlest hugs to all suffering,
and I mean *gentlest* !

I am with you!! My humble abode is in North Eastern Ontario right at the Quebec border (Ottawa River). July and August are usually hot and humid, but have been cool and wet. June was beautiful.......dry and warm.

Have been in a flare since the end of June; one of those flares that seems to be flaring with any change in the weather....haha.

Hoping for a beatiful Fall with sunny and warm weather!

Something else I watch is the pollen count. Right now the weeds are pollinating and it will cause me to have more flares. Spring and Fall.

When your immune system is messed up, anything that can make your body work overtime to get rid it will tax your system, even if it didn't normally give you a problem.

I am watching the UV counts now to chart if that is something to watch too. Really high right now.

I know, leave it to me to pull out the "Bummer Barrel"!
