Does Inadequate Heating At Home Cause Arthritis?
Hello Doctor,
Our furnace broke and we can't afford to fix it. My husband bought some space heaters to heat the house, but they aren't doing the trick. I have been experiencing chills and was recently diagnosed as having arthritis. Do you think the inadequate heating in our home was a major factor, and how can I get rid of the chills?
My temperature was 98.6. Thanks Doc.
