Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2005Extra achy today
Either I'm coming down with something or my OA has decided to play silly buggers today. It has been slowly progressing for years but today - yikes! My knees and knuckles are complaining loudly but, unusual for me, so are my ankles, palms and oddly enough my neck. I'm hoping I just strained it somehow or slept funny cause I just don't feel up for neck problems. Just took a meloxicam and since it gets taken with food I had a bit of carrot cake to cheer myself up and am heading of for some gentle yoga to relax my muscles. If damp weather affects some people's OA, can very humid weather bug OA too? What do you think? Skip  SignatureSlowing down but not stopping To reply: zed oh que kay fourty two at sympatico dot ca >If damp weather affects some people's OA, can very humid weather bug OA too? >What do you think? I really don't know, but I have been extra sore lately and the humidity has been fierce here all summer. I have both RA and OA, so don't know what is going on. --- Joan >>If damp weather affects some people's OA, can very humid weather bug OA too? >>What do you think? Don't know about OA, but damp weather and humid weather affect my RA. Dear Skip, Yes, humidity does effect my RA and OA. Hope you feel better soon, Vickie B. Thanks Vickie, it is much cooler today and I do feel better. Hope you are doing well too Skip > Dear Skip, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Vickie B. So let's see - in Canada it's either humid and warm or damp and cold. I guess that leaves me a couple days in the spring to feel good and do my housework (grin) Skip > >>If damp weather affects some people's OA, can very humid weather bug OA too? > >>What do you think? > Don't know about OA, but damp weather and humid weather affect my RA. >>So let's see - in Canada it's either humid and warm or damp and cold.

OK, that's not entirely true...I don't hurt in the cold weather until I slip on the damned ice in the driveway and pull my groin muscles :) Fall and spring are my best seasons, with winter being second best. I used to love summertime, now I can't wait until it's over. We ended up buying a portable air conditioner this year just to make it bearable in the house. It was either pay more money to the gas companies and spend the summer in the car, or pay Ottawa Hydro more money are be able to stay in our house :) I love winter. Nothing beats a crisp sunny day with the snow crunching underfoot, or curling up in front of a fireplace during a blizzard with a mug of hot chocolate with peppermint schanpps and wondering if you will get the day off work tomorrow.

Which is part of why this place is such a mess. If I feel good enough to clean it, I feel good enough to leave. Jo Jo, I'm with you all the way!

I have been flaring for two weeks now. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

Lucky me - headaches from weather changes and aches from weather changes lol!

FWIW: Both Elaine and I are creaking noticably more than typical, and my keyboard just won't get it's act together at all! This in the North-UK. Its clearly a weather thing. Signature---- * Another squeaking wheel @ http://tinyurl.com/6bf56 * Mike's (curious) Brain @ http://tinyurl.com/4872c - Have a nice day, it really does do you good! :) > 2005-07-27, Responding to Skip... > > Either I'm coming down with something or my OA has decided to play silly [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > typical, and my keyboard just won't get it's act together at > all! This in the North-UK. Its clearly a weather thing. Thanks for that Mike! I was ready to toss out my keyboard yesterday! Darn thing just wouldn't cooperate Lol! Skip ((((((((((Skip))))))))))) I don't have much OA, but I do feel worse in very humid weather - dragged out and achy all over. Rather embarrassing as a Florida native who grew up w/o a/c, but I just cannot take humidity these days. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Thanks Nann, It's good to know it's not just me, although this humidity reaction does force me admit I ache in more places than last year. Such is life :-) Skip > ((((((((((Skip))))))))))) I don't have much OA, but I do feel worse in very > humid weather - dragged out and achy all over.

I've hear that can be annoying Skip > My OA, FMS, and Psuedogout all sing loud and clear in the hot humid air... > Hugs Cindy [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > Skip The symptoms are the same...But The cause is different. Gout...Too much Uric Acid, controlled with diet... Psuedogout....calcium calcification in the fluid around the joints..Reason...Nobody knows...Has nothing to do with your diet... Silly isn't it....The joints that usually bother me is my knees(as if I needed anything else but bone on bone OA there) My elbows and sometimes my hands...

I'm in a major flare, brought about by a week's 90+ heat and probably 100% humidity. Yep, I'm convinced. Nanny > Either I'm coming down with something or my OA has decided to play silly > buggers today.

It is cooler today and much less humid. I woke up feeling less achy but lots of morning stiffness (I'm sure there's a rude joke in there somewhere!) so that's something. The weather should hold for this Civic Holiday weekend so I hope to take advantage of it and be outside in the nice weather while I can.
