I've pretty much lived in high humidity places my whole life. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, and I receive meds via infusion every six weeks. It's a treatment, not a cure. Good days, and bad ones with flare ups in between. I can say for sure that weather and humidity does affect MY pain and inflammation.
When we went to New Mexico for a week, I noticed my pain level really dropped. I felt better the whole week we were there. On a different trip to Colorado, same thing.
I think that when my boy graduates from high school, we might try a temporary move for a few months to try it out. If it proves significant, we might really consider moving. This what I had in mind, some sort of temporary move to see if it works. I hope it works well for you.

I The cartilage in your joints is made of gelatine. Replacing the gelatine in your system will rebuild your joints. This stuff works, and is cheap. We dont work that way. Strike that. It doesnt work that way. We eat proteins and have enzymes to digest them. This breaks them down into their component parts- amino acids. You have a genes to reassemble those amino acid building blocks back into other large functional proteins. The steps above are, in large part, not skipped. With minor exceptions youou dont eat food and then have it travel to the part of the body where you wanted it. You break it down and then reassemble it. Of course, you can get your buildingblocks (the amino acids) by eating gelatin, or taking an amino acid supplement, or simply by eating complete proteins such as meat or eggs.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

I have had foot and ankle pain for about 15 years no Drs. Had any answers. I quit smoking and it improved some so I have stayed quit. Recently I decided to limit carbs to lose a little weight. My feet feel the best they have since I was in my 40s. I have experimented some and bread is the thing that makes my joints hurt. I love bread but I like not hurting better than bread. And I have made a couple of trips around the west. My arthritis was much less on those trips than here at home. Don't know if it was the humidity or elevation. GOOD! People are finally starting to figure this [bleep] out again, depsite the efforts of billion dollar ad campaigns and governmental guidelines. Someone posted earlier about inflamation. Bingo spot on.

Has anybody moved West to get away from the humidity of the East? Did it really help your arthritis? I don't know if any move improves arthritis. The basic cause of arthritis is inflammation. The cause of inflammation is diet and life style. The American diet is a killer. You can turn the inflammation train around with a diet change. Exactly correct.

My DNA is central Europe, so we love arthritis. Anyway I watch my weight, and when I really restrict carbs, the pain is dramatically reduced. That and sugar are what cause joint inflammation.

All carbs aren't the same either. Flour, and processed sweeteners cause my trouble. Starchy vegetables not so bad.
Yep. Raw carrots, for example, are technically starchy, but since your body breaks it down slowly, the inflammation affects are far less.

We moved from Ca to Arizona. We rode horses and mules from a lot of people out of state like us. I met an operating room nurse, while on the trail, whose specialty was assisting Surgeons during open heart surgery.
She was living in NJ, and due to Arthritis had to move to Az, the warm weather helped here a lot. She also said that a person that suffers from Arthritis should never, never eat anything fried. She was back to work in her specialty.

Didn't move but found some stuff that makes it more bearable.
It does away with the swelling. Turmeric/Circumin 1200 mg.capsules.. The bottle says take 2 a day but with my stomach work done i just take 1.
It made a huge difference in my hands and everywhere old author showed up.
I have joint damage in my hands where it first showed up,after my hospital stay i started getting it in my shoulders and feet.
I have some joint damage in my big toes and my left shoulder.
I just don't have the pain. And i can use my hands for small work.
