    I live in a hot climate, but the month of May is rainy season so the weather is chilly espercially when it rains, so I make sure I cover up and become warm

      it’s cold weather for sure. Or just letting myself be too cold.

        Thanks for sharing. Cold weather can be a challenge. May I ask what type of climate you live in? Hopefully you don't have to face the cold weather too often! - Reggie (Sickle-cell.com Team Member)

        Mine are definitely exposure to cold and physical exertion. More recently I've noticed my diet can be a trigger too; certain foods make me feel more fatigued or cause more joint pains.

          ... It seems like the cold and rain are common factors.
