Does the weather affect how you feel?

Check the Aches and Pains Weather Index from The Weather Channel.

Thanks to Holly Reynolds and Clau­dia Wend­landt of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia Orga­ni­za­tion of Geor­gia for the tip!

    (sorry if this gets posted twice)

    For the UK the URL is this: http://uk.weather.com/maps/lifestyles/intlachesandpains/index_large.html
    You can get to the Europe map there too. How­ever, I don’t find these to be as useful/accurate as the US maps. They seem to be cal­cu­lated dif­fer­ently. For instance it can go from sunny to thun­der­storm­ing and still be listed at level 3. Bah!

    If you are affected by the weather it is gen­er­ally baro­met­ric pres­sure and/or humid­ity so if you find that the Weather Channel’s cal­cu­la­tions don’t seem to apply to you, you can keep an eye on those fac­tors inde­pen­dently. It can be use­ful to keep track of weather (both as you observe it and the pain index from these web­sites) in a pain or health jour­nal to see if you can pin­point exactly what affects you most.

    Thanks for the link! I’ll add that to the Online Resources page.

    I’ve wanted one of those home weather sta­tions for a while. Between home­school­ing and fibro, maybe I can jus­tify one ;-)
