Time of year

Does anyone notice if a particular time of year or season makes their symptoms worse? February through May is when I hurt the most.

I am in the Buffalo area. Once winter hits, I have a lot of problems with arthritis which exacerbates everything else.

My main bad time is Jan and Feb although depending on the weather that year, it could be October through April. I sometimes avoid parties or gatherings during Jan and Feb because it can hurt to be touched, bumped or hugged.

I'm in Florida and, like Julie, the early months of winter are the worst. We start warming up in April in our neck of the woods. When I lived up north I was having more pain for months...like poor Michael.
