Also please, does the weather affect arthritis?

I have rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease. I’ve noticed the joint pain is so much worse right before my menstrual cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? I assume it’s from the changing hormone levels. I have little to no pain during the rest of the month.
My doctor says there should be no relation, but it occurs every month like clockwork. He’s referring me to a rheumatologist, but I still think there is a link here.

I have a 9 year old Rottweiler (named Belle) who is having some trouble with arthritis. She is becoming more stiff as the nights get colder, I’m doing what I can for her. I let her sleep on my bed, and on the couch when she’s in the living room. I am also giving her Bayer Asprin (I asked my vet about the appropriate dose), but she is still limping a bit through out the day. Is there anything else I can do the ease her arhritis pain without having to put her on a perscription medication?

I can feel my cat Smudge’s hip bones through her short fur, but she seems to not be stiff or anything like that. However, my cat’s hip bones are becoming more and more prominently felt whenever I pet her and Smudge is a 14 year old shorthaired cat who’s going to be 15 in June of this year. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain when she’s petted, but I’m concerned that her hip bones becoming more and more easily prominently felt may be a sign of arthritis. Is this reason enough for my concern for my cat? Smudge’s eating okay and also doesn’t seem to be losing any weight lately, but she’s 8 pounds, which is the proper weight for a cat her size, according to the vet.

Im going to Puerto Rico and want to bring my mom a good home remedy for arthritis that she will be thankful and happy.

I can’t determine which of what I’m doing makes the pain go away for days after it attacks for few days. I do therapy but it recurred. I put warm bag/warm compress on my lower back now and I use some natural therapy cream made of ginger, virgin coconut oil and peppermint which seems to have stopped the pain so far. I don’t know if it’s just the nature of arthritis that it stops then recurs at any given time and I don’t know anymore whether what i’m doing now is the one that makes the pain stop.
