My EM is much worse in the winter than the summer. The need to wear socks when going out I think aggravates my EM. It is difficult to keep your body temperature down in the winter as the heat is on in the house during the winter.
Hi Judy .... you may want to check out Nel's similar discussion http://forum.livingwitherythromelalgia.org/forum/topics/are-your-em-flares-worse-in-winter
It's always worse in the winter. It's a lot easier to deal with AC than heat. I don't use any heat in my portion of my home in MD during winters.
