is it better for people with severe ARTHRITIS to live in a climate that is usually warm and dry?

Hi,
Being new to sever Arthritis and being relatively young, I wonder if I would be better off living where there is very little cold weather as I am having a rough time of it up here in NJ, pain meds and all.

Any idea if it matters for the better that a person in my situation would be better off in a warmer place, or not?

THANKS!
