I definitely notice increased pain with both barometric pressure and humidity.

Several of the web-based weather services now have Arthritis Indices or Aches & Pain Forecasts.
However, checking them is usually an afterthought (Why do I hurt so cussin' bad today? )
I have a couple of weather gadgets on my desktop, but I haven't found one for an arthritis/pain forecast/index yet.

Doc, it sounds like your body IS a weather gadget and more accurate than the professionals use. I am thrilled for those like Mark who do not have spineometers. I was thrilled to see that my daughter was enjoying such science experiments in the third grade. Those hands on, highly visual lessons last a lifetime.

Living proof of that right here! (Junior Science Geek ) My 3rd (or 4th?) grade class had a hurricane machine in the classroom (built by some parent/science teacher, I presume; I've never seen another like it). It was a glassed-in cabinet ~2' x 2' x 4'h, with a lightbulb in the top and a pizza pan at the bottom. The idea was to fill the pizza pan with salt water (representing the ocean) and by heating it up via the lightbulb (representing the Sun), a small vortex (Coriolis Effect and EVERYTHING!) was created inside the cabinet. It was barely perceptable, so they introduced a small amount of smoke (lit cigarette - it was the '60s - Don't smoke, kids - this is SCIENCE!) to make it more visible. They could really get that little thing crankin'. Of course as soon as anyone opened the door to the cabinet, it disturbed the delicate balance and the small-scale hurricane went POOF!

Doc

i love it!

and another one

thanks

next

another laugh

thanks doc

... this...

I was talking about Google Gadgets on my Google Desktop on the righthand side of my Windows Desktop (computer screen)

(Remember when you turned on your computer and all there was, was the word, "READY" and a blinking cursor? )

Doc

wow i don't

all new teaching myself
i won't go there
bad space

A big YES! And I do have RSD, but I think it is related to the inflammation. We have been having constantly changing weather here in Chicago the last few weeks, with rain every other or every couple days, and this means the pressure has been changing left and right. And boy are my legs and wrist irritated. The pain from the barometric changes, I've found, is slightly different so I can tell that's what it is right away. It's more achy. I can predict the weather better than the forecasts can!

The best thing I've found to help it is moist heat. And of course turning my SCS up higher for the legs. But you should be better at least while you're in Mexico, because in warmer climates like that the pressure is more constant.

Ahh shucks.....I was picturing a weather baloon
and one of these things --->> sitting on your desk

Yes, i do remember those days with our 6" screens and the back of the computer reached 3 feet back to the wall. Where did simplicity go??
