Tips how to manage with heat

[Keepstrong]

Hi everyone, I hope this information will be useful to you all.

It's what's worked 29 years for me every summer and also clients I had when I had my holistic therapy business.

Most people take to the bed that they feel their energy is just to low they are to fatigued so bed is best place because they are so sore.

Unfortunately that's not the case an you can check with your physio or doctor to confirm what I'm advertising here.

If you take to the bed even with no covers, your body temperature is going to still soak into your mattress and that is going to not only suck up your energy but it's gone to feed your fatigue like a ant in a sugar bowl.

This in turn will cause your oxygen to turn stail in some parts of your body and will cause the pain and spasms to flare up and this will effect your mood and cause you to feel down or depressed.

If you can do your best to stay up from your bed and place your pillow cases into a plastic bag and place them into the end your fridge or freezer for half an hour or an hour before your bed time, it will help you sleep better

Also fold your bed clothes down to the end of the bed and let the air circulate around your bed maybe when your home leave the window slightly open but don't leave it open to much for safety reason of course .

If you can keep some still water in your fridge and drink 8/12 small glasses from morning to no later than 7pm. This will rid any stail oxygen from your body and it will remove an discomfort or physical fatigue an that in turn will help also your emotional fatigue and energy to be released from your body along with any toxins that may be causing you problems.

If you cannot drink water on its own, then use a Cork of your favourite juise that's suger free to the water. It's just very inportant to either drink the amount of glass of water suggested or even to buy small bottles of water and ever half hour or so drink one.

The more you can stay active the more your body, muscles, mind, energy and anywhere you are in pain. Will thank you for it.

If you need to lay down then lay down on the sofa but after every half hour or hour get up an move around a little. This will all help. If your not allergic to roses then you can use rose spray on your face an base of the back of your head to help cool you down. If you have restless feet spray some on them too.

If you have a carer or a loved one who would oblige you by just massaging some rose cream or even plain non sented moisturiser or a tiny bit of peppermint oil added and ask them to do your legs an feet in a upward movement from your feet front and back.

This will not only improve your blood flow and release muscles that's tight or in spasms, but it will also improve your health physically and emotionally.

The more your able to try be active even if it's very small the more you will feel like your getting a hold on your health conditions.

I so hope this will be of some help to you all.

I wish you a happy and healthy life's journey dear friends. Sending out Healing hugs Comfort and light Ce. Keep strong 🤗🙏😇

Hi Keepingstrong, GREAT POST, and advice. I truly mean that. So much so that I am going to try to copy and try to past it to my lupus hub.

Thank you for your help I greatly appreciate the advice and insight. stay well. sending peace, blessings thestorm😎

Hi thestorm 🤗🤗🤗

Oh I so love your wording, its great to meet people who do the same as me describing things 😂😂😂😂 I too have those kind of problems an I word it as you may of seen in other posts, dancing with gravity or fighting with gravity an it won or I won 😂😂😂😂.

As I was reading your post I had just come in from the kitchen laughing with my hubby as he was slagging me because I only went an put the milk in the cupboard and the wheetabix in the fridge 😂😂😂. Yea kinda do them things often 🤣🤣🤣

I'm so delighted that my tips post is of help to you.

Please feel free to send me private message anytime if you need any further info like this post I be only to glad to help 👍🤗🤗

As to your Lupus, if you place a face cloth into a lunch bag an put it into your fridge but not your freezer. You can use it on any location the heat is aggravating the Lupus. Also if you have tea towels you don't use you could place 2 folded into freezer and use one to wrap around your feet when your to warm to help cool you down. It be like having a cold temperature massage to them an it will cool down the rest of your body too. No one thinks about how we use cold wet face cloth on heads,the base of the back of your neck and under arms an around the balls an archs of feet to bring down high fevers, that you can use the same method to cool you down.

Hahaha I use to have clients tell me their fridge and freezer have more lunch bags with clothes and pillow cases in them then there is food 😂😂😂 just always make sure to wash them up straight away with laundry disinfectant and dry them well before putting them into fridge or freezer again an don't use scented fragrance, you don't want your food in the freezer having a scented taste of them 😂😂😂

Maybe while the heat is so bad you could dedicate some time to sort out your fridge and freezer an then locate a spot to stack up your lunch bag collection of clothes, pillow cases an tea towels for when you use them 😂😂😂😂.

Just though to be clear, always only put them in half an hour to a hour before use. You don't want the rock solid you will get frost bite. 😫😓🥶😱

I hope this helps you an you enjoy your day dear friend. Don't forget to drink lots of mint an or lemon herbal tea to keep you cool even if you drink it hot or you can let it cool and make ice cubes out them to put in your water to give you a flavour. 😉🤔

Take care and be well. Hugs of comfort and light. Ce 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Like, why did I come in here, and for what again. Ha HA , things like that. I am thankful I found you all and this nice hub. Gathering the tea towels now, and making room, before hubby comes home with groceries.

Dear Keepstrong, you are God's sent. Thanks very much for the vital information. The adage goes that information is power. I was thinking that I would get some relief from fibromyalgia in the hot weather but unfortunately, reverse is the case. The pain has spread to every part of my body and my whole body is very tender. The chronic fatigue makes me feel exhausted and lifeless and I have a 7 year old child to take care of. I remember that last month, I gave in to my pain and chronic fatigue and that really worsened my condition.

Everything you have said is very true. I am very depressed now and have become very weepy.

I will work on all your suggestions. Thanks a million Keepstrong. Hugs

Hi dear friend. I'm so sorry you have been going through such a hard time. I know how hard it is to try keep going when you have young children only to well. My 4 children at first 20 years ago had to go through me being admitted to hospital for inflammatory iv fusions till two years later when I started totally dedicating as much time as I could to finding out everything I could into researching what this condition that so many where trying to label fibro myalgia as a only in the head condition. An thanks to Canada, the UK and America over them years, I managed to get so much information on FMS fibro myalgia syndrome An also M. E. Myalgia Encephalitis. Also from physiotherapists, occupational therapist and doctors I became friends with all over the world through my research contacts. Now I am on a journey to start the same journey again for my new diagnosis of Neurological functional disorder with Seizures when sleeping.

But anything you would like help with for your conditions, please feel free to private message me here anytime. 🤗🤗🤗😇

I wish you a healthy pain free new week ahead tomorrow on the start of next week. Be well and keep strong. Ce 👍🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏
