Winter may have a direct impact on your symptoms. What symptoms do you experience during winter?
Not usually that bad until this this fall -- I'm having to deal with flare-ups. It's in my feet this time.
What do you do to cope with these symptoms?
I try to remind myself to slow down and relax as much as I can and always try to get a good night's sleep.
Aside from winter, do you experience any other symptoms because of the other seasons?
I generally am okay aside from a constant hip pain that has been with me from the start. I do get symptoms here and there but once I do some stretching I feel much better.
