I never associated arthritis with hot, humid weather till now but the high humidity here and my allergies seem to bring out the pain in my hip and at the base of my thumbs (but am fortunate that these don't really affect my quilting) but I am taking my Aleve in the morning and having some relief -- good luck in dealing with your problems and that the new cutter will make cutting easier on your wrists -- my doctor always recommends ice on the affected parts to bring down the inflammation and says to do whatever helps as far as diet and other things go-- I'm going to try the apple cider vinegar drink (may be the vitamin C in it that helps)--and thanks to all the QB posters for all the encouragement and helpful hints on all sorts of subjects!!
