Hello Darling Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Summer is on it's way. Do you all get really sick in the summer? I cannot handle the heat at all. Those of you who have figured out how to make it through the summers without getting sick- what are your tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 The heat and humidity of summer do make me feel ill. In addition to all the usual measures, I keep an evaporative cooling towel on hand and wear loose long sleeves and pants/skirts. This establishes a shady temperature barrier between my skin and the environment and helps me feel more comfortable. I apply water from my bottle to my skin, especially wrists and neck, as needed. I go inside and/or sit down as needed. Being out in bright sunlight can also cause symptoms, so I keep to shade as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachy Matt Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I have noticed I'm a lot less symptomatic during the winter since I can't stand the summer heat at all. I am starting to go for my walks after dinner when the sun is down in order to keep up my exercise without getting overheated. Although I don't personally use them, I would recommend a cooling towel or even a cooling vest as that seems to help some patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymph Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I wear a cooling scarf on my neck if I am going to be out in the heat. There are some really cute ones. Usually a hat, too. And it sounds counterintuitive, but wearing compression is a must for me. There are some nice leggings at Discount Surgical that are quite cool.
