Hot weather and parkinsons

[Opt8]

Was wondering if any experience more symptoms with hot Weather? Also wonder what helps to cope with hot weather?

Me. It's horrible. Everyday.

Lots of arm jerking at moment and reply sent before I was finished. Try wearing a 'sweat band' around your forehead. I have dozens and they really help. As I write this I'm using energy and the sweating is troubling.

Increase water intake (a lot). Medication does not work well if you get dehydrated.

Wet a cotton scarf to wear round neck (I have one with water retaining crystals which stay cool).

Hold wrists under cold tap for a few minutes.

Wipe over all skin with a cold flannel and leave to dry naturally.

Drink hot tea!

I live in Arizona where the high is record breaking at 116. Stay inside, hydrated.

I really HATE this hot weather. Makes me feel awful. I expect it affects all PWP in various ways.

One issue is dehydration. I drink lots of iced green tea and ice water. The green tea also gives me some energy to combat the fatigue. I live I. The southern us and it gets very hot

I use to hate the heat but I can feel the muscles in my back loosen up so much now. My gym had a dry sauna and there,and there would be actual people in there during the summer. I would say to myself, " getting some relief from the heat ? "

For me, cold is much worse. I love the heat and the sun as long as i dont have to wear a collar and tie. When im cold, i shake all over. And so i moved to Florida 3 yrs away.

I kid you NOT when I say that when I get cold I shiver like this guy, just more pronounced.
