I am definately affected by the weather... and thankfully the weather.com site has the aches and pains index and forecast where I can type in my zip code and get the weather forecast with the "aches and pain" index numbers for the week.

I often use the aches and pains forecast numbers to plan my week... if I see a day that is forecasted to be a high pain day I will make sure to not plan any activities on that day, and if I know we have to do errands or shopping I will plan ahead to do them on a day that is forecasted to be low on the aches and pains scale.

Because the weather affects me so much and is a major cause of pain flares for me, having the aches and pains index forecast is extremely helpful and useful.... although I do wish I could figure out a way to reduce the weather-related extreme pain flares, but since I can't reduce the flares themselves, at least I can plan in advance and know what days will be weather-flare days.

ok how cool is it that there is an aches and pains index....dont think we have that on our weathernetwork for Canada.....ohhhh what a great way to plan a day or week....
Thanks for the info!!!

Love and hugs,

because the CNN weather map is still a good predictor of pain for me - maybe others?

TOTALLY agree!

I pin pointed this shortly after my surgery.
The weather is increasing the CRPS!
