Yep, Christy is on track  I'll elaborate: Mo, it's modern use ...of good old time wisdom.. Ya know how people with arthritis often claim they can predict the weather based on their aches in da joints.. I know I can... well now they have done studies that show we weren't all  so, using the weather conditions...they phigure an Arthritis Index... ifin the pressure is a droppin ...and/or the temperature ... the index goes UP |

Phil, do you take something daily for arthritis? I am RA type.
I never hear of arthritis index. They to claim use to claim weather could not bother it. They use to have copper braclets and I guess they found copper in the system did help. Now a link to thinking cancer from the metals in the multi vitamins. And under arm products. Copper and zinc is suppose to be good fighting MD.
