The HEAT is OFF! How Did You Do?
Here in Texas this summer’s temperatures were extra brutal. We had multiple weeks of daily highs over 100 degrees. Often it was 103 to 105.
Every day I got out early for errands in order to get back home in the air conditioning by noon to spend the remainder indoors.
I have a rag-top roadster I dearly love to run around the Metroplex in with the top down. This summer, I started out with my top down, but mid-trip it was pulled back up and the air conditioning blasting!
Even taking extra precautions, I had heat problems that affected my LEMS. In the extra hot, blazing heat, just getting out on the property to go get the mail created problems. Often my hips, even keeping my exposure short, became extremely weak. The heat at times felt crushing.
The Monday before my end-of-week flight to Boston, I accidentally exposed myself to extreme heat, causing a LEMS flare with extreme exhaustion and weakness. That is not a good way to set up for a big trip.
How were the temperatures for you? Did you experience heat-related LEMS symptoms?
