I think there could be a link between the two. I've noticed flare ups and questioned the weather afterward. Often they've come after weather changes but I haven't kept track well enough to say for sure.
I have been pretty uncomfortable the last six days or so. Travelled about 1100 miles round trip and been in all kinds of weather since last Friday.
Made the mistake of mentioning it to one of the Docs last year. He didn't say anything and I didn't want to appear to be malingering so I kind of made a joke about it after I mentioned it. Probably will never mention it again.
