This is the one type of weather that anyone with arthritis look forward to as joints are not constantly feeling cold which then relates to feeling stiff, in pain which then changes your mood to feeling negative. I know when it is cold my joints feel stiff, sore and simple tasks are hard to accomplish.

My job does involve working  in cold conditions some days, when I’m on these shifts I make sure I wear extra layers so that I do not feel the cold as much. When I am feeling cold I do consume a high amount of hot drinks to make myself feel warmer. No one likes feeling cold especially someone who suffers with the silent illness of arthritis. When you feel down due to the weather you deep down wish you were just like a normal person who when they felt the cold warmed up then felt fine.
