Well its that time of year again – cold, winter months are upon us.

I have to say I do love the winter months when the days are dry and sunny compared to a miserable wet and windy day. Having a silent chronic illness like psoriatic arthritis, which I have, the cold winter makes daily tasks hard as the coldness effects my joints more.

Having psoriatic arthritis it does bring other complications as I now have an autoimmune system which means that my body is more prone to picking up any illness that occur during these cold months. Even though I’ve had the flu injection it still does not stop picking up a common cold.
