Re: summer heat and lupus
| Beverley | 24 Jun 2006 03:12 |
I think the heat is more of a problem to me than the sun.
I think I said something about this a while back but I'll say it again. I have a friend with MS and we were talking one day and she's supposed to stay out of the sun and heat too. The reason being is the heat causes the body to lose moisture and one of the first things effected by this moisture loss is the nerve endings because they are so tiny. I'm not sure that is my problem but it makes sense. Apparently this is a really big problem for those with MS as they do not want to damage the nerves.
An hour in the heat and I'm shot for the rest of the day. Also I think because I live where there is high humidity I tend to not sweat, then I can get in really big trouble because my body, I guess, overheats.
I can avoid the sun pretty well most of the time but the heat is a constant in the summer so I hide in the air conditioned house through the worst of it. Bev
