Re: summer heat and lupus

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.
