 [ Symptoms ] how far back can i get my prescription history [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you have arthritis it is certainly a very common ailment i guess i am going to assume you are referring to osteoarthritis which is the wear and tear disease that makes the joints hurt this type of arthritis frequently comes on as we get older just to be clear there is another type of arthritis called rheumatoid arthritis that is an autoimmune disease but based on your question i am thinking you are referring to plain old arthritis that hurts worse when the weather gets colder if that is the case moving from connecticut to virginia probably will not help while it is true coldness can make the pain of osteoarthritis feel worse virginia probably is not sufficiently warmer than connecticut in the winter to make much of a difference now if you were talking about becoming a snowbird and flying down to florida to spend your winters then i would probably say that is a fine idea it is also important to take into consideration where your support system resides when your arthritis symptoms become so severe you need help with daily or periodic tasks you need to be living where your family and friends are close enough to help you if that is in new england then that is probably not a bad place for you to stay i hope this helps
