Lifescript recently released a well-researched article on Rheumatoid Arthritis. It’s a great read if want to learn more about Rheumatoid Arthritis, such as how it is triggers, how to treat it, and the many ways it can occurs.

If you have rheumatoid arthritis, then you probably know what to do when your symptoms flare: Head straight for the medication! But how can you keep an RA flare from happening in the first place? Here, studies and experts weigh in on how to stay free of joint swelling and muscle pain – and away from the medicine cabinet – for as long as possible…

I was interviewed for prevention tip #6 for Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare Trigger #6: Cold, damp weather “Many RA patients have flares when the weather turns cold and damp,” says Moshe Lewis, M.D., a pain management specialist in Redwood City, Calif. “They take a winter vacation in Arizona and I get a postcard saying they’re no longer in pain.”

A study of 151 people conducted at Centro Reumatológico Strusberg in Cordoba, Argentina, found that people with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia reported more pain on cold days. People with RA also reported more pain on days with high humidity and high pressure.

A drop in air pressure (which often accompanies cold, rainy weather) may allow tissues in the body to expand to fill the space, meaning that already inflamed tissue can cause even more joint swelling and pain, according to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Also, pain thresholds may drop in colder weather; cold, rainy days affect mood; and during colder weather people are less likely to be outside getting exercise that keeps arthritis pain in check, says Johns Hopkins.

To prevent a flare: “Don’t cheat on your heating bill during winter,” Lewis says. “Bundle up and wear an extra layer or two when you go out. To warm up fast, take a hot bath or soak in a Jacuzzi.”
