if you scroll down PAST the map, there is a box that says "Get your local Aches & Pains forecast." If you enter your zip code in the white box nd click "GO", it will give you what they consider to be your "forecast" (INCLUDING THE 10 DAY!) for how your pain will be affected by the weather. This is based on THEIR FORMULA which is:

The Aches & Pains Index is calculated using barometric pressure, absolute humidity, chance of precipitation, temperature and wind. Areas of quiet, dry weather during warmer times of the year are generally associated with lower levels of aches and pains. Approaching areas of low pressure or strong frontal systems, both leading to stormy weather, may cause higher levels of aches and pains.

They rate it on a 1-10 scale, with a 1 being that the weather will have a small bearing on your pain, and a 10 meaning the weather will have a greater bearing on your pain.
Now, some of us may ONLY be affected by barometric pressure, or the humidity, or the temperature or whatever. But the GOOD THING is that this is the only site I've found after googling for HOURS that will give you a 10-day extended "Aches and Pains Forecast" determined by their formula (if you find that works for you). Boy, I wish i knew what last weekend was....cuz I was REALLY BAD over the weeked and I'd like to know what my number was!
Anyway...just a tool for you all....I know I'm going to use it just to see what it says for a while. Perhaps it will be worth keeping an eye on for a bit!
