Does cold weather affect pd symptoms more? I live in New Jersey where it gets below freezing quite often in the winter.

For my husband any cold makes his shaking worse, to the point of shaking violently. He also gets cold in what to others is a warm room watching TV he has a jacket or his robe on and a hat and a blanket, to sleep he has heavy pajamas, flannel sheets, an electric blanket cranked up and a comforter. So yes cold weather does affect him more.

I just moved from AZ to OR. Yes the cold makes my dystopia worse. I do find it easier to stay warm then to stay cool in AZ.... The heat was debilitating.
