  1. I am from india .new delhi....very hot here ......very difficult to cope with hot temperatures...always in ac

  2. i got a cooling vest so i can sit outside at night for a bit

  3. i am in mg exacerbation. staying cool and keeping core body temp stable helps a lot. even a littke heat exposure in summer heat wave is problemstic so im staying inside and keeping cool. drinking lits of water. resting. limiting talking. it seems to help my tired myscles work better to stay cool while flared up.

  4. I can walk into a hot garage and almost instantly experience weakness and breathing difficulties. For me, heat is intolerable and dangerous, I don't cope with it. I avoid it at all costs. I have no problem at with cold, which is why I live in Wisconsin. Smile.
