Heat intolerance in RA: Do you struggle with feeling too hot? 🌡️

Hey everyone, how have you been feeling lately? 👋

We often talk about pain, stiffness, and fatigue with rheumatoid arthritis, but what about those of us who seem to overheat more easily than others?

Some members in our community have shared that they feel constantly warm or experience intense waves of heat, even when others around them are perfectly comfortable. For some, this shows up as night sweats, heat in the hands and feet, or just feeling drained in warmer weather.

🗣️ Let’s open up the conversation:

• Have you ever noticed heat sensitivity or intolerance with your RA?
• How do you stay cool and manage uncomfortable heat when it strikes?

This isn’t something many doctors talk about, and the research is still catching up, so your story might really help others feel less alone.
