Great news!
I wanted to pass along this link-- it is the 'Aches and Pains' index from weather.com. For those with weather induced aches and pains-- knees, backs, headaches, etc, often influenced by changes in the barometric pressure, it can be handy, at least to rule out our worst fears (mets).
http://www.weather.com/activities/he...vities/health/
I was having weather-related migraines-- sure enough the index was at 10 (the highest). Today, they're gone-- the index is at a 3.
It must be a great feeling to now have the peace of mind of a clean brain MRI.

Thanks for sharing that information. I've always felt that the way my body reacts/responds is directly related to the weather...now that I have this I can check!!
