I live in the US and have lupus. I intend to move to Mumbai for a couple of years. I am concerned about the climate of Mumbai affecting my lupus, though? Is there any knowledge of how a more humid and hot (sunny, compared to Georgia USA) climate would affect my health? And how good is lupus care in Mumbai? (availability of drugs like CellCept, how proactively are side effects from drugs monitored, how quickly is a flare diagnosed, etc..?)
Scientifically, climate does not really affect the disease, however patients generally feel that a particular climate suits them better.Mumbai has a huge rheumatology setup, and there SHD be no difficulty in procuring Chat Doctor.
