This weather is getting to eveyone

Everyone is suffering with this heat, living in the hottest city in the Country with only one lung is really getting me down. I have seen posts about people with their fans and I bought myself one of the ones with the water tank. I was disappointed to begin with as I thought it would be like an air conditioner but if you look at it as just a fan it is better than most as the air is a little cooler and doesn’t feel like hot air is being circulated. It eases my symptoms a bit more. Just thought I would share that.

Hopefully someone else might benefit, in conjunction with my nebuliser I just might get through this. 👍

Unfortunate Kittyykay2 they aren’t cheap and wiped me out but at least I can breathe. Some say a normal fan with a bowl of water works too (wish I had seen that). Hope tonight is better for you. Thanks for your reply. 😊

Glad that you have found something that helps you a little. Hopefully the temperatures will soon drop in your area as they have in mine. The last few days have made life difficult for so many with health problems.

They have dropped but now comes the rain !!! Which is good for me but not for my daughter who wants to cut the grass, so win / no win. 👍👎

Thanks Maz but I think it may be a chest infection coming on and not just the weather. How are you doing?
