Post new topic

Hi, I have Lupus since 13 years ago. I am moving to Canada and will be living in Quebec, i was told that the temperature drops to -25 for about 6 months.
the lupus i have flares up in winter only, the coldest i have been is about -3 in Madrid and i managed it by wearing thick gloves and scarves. But i have never been at -25.
could someone with same illness give me your feedback living there? have you noticed if it gets worst with those extreme temperatures?

Hi Miryam,

It might be hard for you, but I can't be sure. It's always said that bodies have a different way of reacting to the same disease.

I live in Lima Peru and can't bear the heat when exceeds 30 ºC in summer (from 23 ºC I start feeling like I'm getting sick  ;) ) and in winter, here the problem is the humidity, but winter is my season. In the province of my country and in southern Argentina, I feel relatively OK, provide that the temperature doesn't go down to -15 ºC (seems to be my limit).

Take care and congratulations for your courage and strength,  :)

Ruth
