am a registared nurse and i do the travel nursing .. i was diagnosised with lupus 7 months ago. i have joint pain. hips, ankles, knees, wrists, shoulders, etc.. i am on plaquinil 200 mg twice a day. i am just wondering if cold weather makes the joint pain worse. i know that cold can. i guess i just need to know if living in a place that has snow makes it worse. i am currently living in texas and working in iowa for 13 weeks . and if the travel is harder on a person with lupus.. just trying to figure out if i should continue to travel or not.. any advise would be appreciated.. i know after working 12 hours i hurt.. and have difficulty sleeping .. thanks.. hope to get some advice..View Thread
