Sorry to hear that you've been feeling rough (we all overdo things at 
times).

I don't think my arthritis is any different as regards the weather though - 
I honestly haven't noticed that cold wet days make it worse.  They make ME 
feel worse though - I'm proper grumpy when its raining, but thats more to do 
with my frizzy hair!

Jayne, be thankful you have enough hair to be frizzy.  Mine is so thin you 
can easily see the scalp shining through, particularly in one or two big 
spots!   And my hair and scalp are definitely not the same color.

i'm almost defined by my hair[*] -- lots on head, chest, large beard.

yet i now have to wear a hat if i'm going to be out in the sun.

yes, i _know_ it's *male* pattern baldness, i just don't like it...

any road, jayne, i've never convinced myself that i'm worse in bad
weather, but i sometimes claim i am, when grumpy.  get well soon.

[*] when they put me on cyclosporin as a dmard, the specialist nurse
said "we have to tell you, it will make you get hairier".  "how will
they tell?", i quipped.  but it did: if you see me without clothes
(not a recommended sight) you see my torso covered with really rather
nice, fine hair (not a bit like any of the rubbish on my head ;-).
