I know that for me winter is usually the worst time of the year for me as far as pain goes. But I do use an electric blanket to compensate for some of the cold and lots of fleece blankets.
Although this summer we had a few extremely hot and humid days and those days seemed just as bad as the winter (weird).
I always considered moving to a warmer area but all of my immediate family is up here in New England soo I can't part with them. But I do know that when I visit florida to see my grandparents, I usually feel A LOT better.
