Hi Janet,
You're not the only one who finds heat a problem. I live in Texas and
literally have to stay indoors all summer, only venturing out in the
late evening if it is cool enough. Mine is because my body cannot
regulate temperature, and I cannot sweat at all because of the damage
to the spinal cord. Even when I go out at night after it has dropped
down to 70, I sometimes still have problems. And it does wreak havoc
with my spasticity, especially at night. The one relief I've found is to
keep my apartment at about 66 degrees during the night, it helps keep
the number of spasms down for some reason. Hope things get better for you...
Peace,
Bernie in HOT Texas
(where for the next 3 months it will average about 105 to 110 degrees at
peak heat in the afternoon)
