What is the best climate for someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hi Tina,

A couple other people have asked this question recently too, so you might want to check out the responses of some other folks going back a week or two.  But I think climate completely depends on the person.  Some people seem to feel better in warmer climates, like Arizona or Florida.  And some, like me, don't do well at all in humidity.  I'm from Cleveland, OH originally and my joints definitely prefer cold and snow.  I live in Maryland now and the hot, humid summers near the water really aggravates my joints. I could never live farther South than I do now, unless I lived somewhere dry like Arizona. 

So it's just what makes you feel good.  If you're thinking about moving, I'd try vacationing there fore a week or two at both the hottest time of the summer and coldest time of the winter, or during the most rainy season to see how you body will react.
