Dear Senior Citizen:
I can't answer for the 2nd and 3rd ailments you listed, but I do know (for arthritis) that joints feel much worse in a cold, damp climate, especially when the barometric pressure is falling. Thankfully, overall, Florida doesn't have a damp climate compared to some parts of the South. We've lived on the sea or near the sea for the past 12 years and my arthritis never felt so good! I think that will continue to be true inland.
