It wasn’t great for my pain, either. I now live in the dry Arizona dessert and my knees, legs, arms... we’re loving it. When I leave a cold building and walk outside into the heat, I let the heat sink in before going back into the AC anywhere else. It feels like a massage.(April 7, 2018 at 1:59 pm)J a c k Wrote: She- Damn Arizona weather, huh?
Me-Mmmmm yes. I love it when the heat digs into my rheumatoid aching body as I sit in my black car in 120F temperature for a whole two minutes before turning on the AC, and then my bones and my blood recuperating make me feel alive! For a second there I mistake relief with pleasure and then I happily praise our Arizona weather.
She: walks away.
Mission accomplished.
My friend has been diagnosed with RA just a year ago, and still hasn't found a way to manage the pain effectively. So hot weather helps? Unfortunately she lives in Ohio.
