Pain in Heat

[SoulSley]

I honestly thought the summer would be easier then the winter and now I can’t decide… the pain, dizziness and moments of nausea it’s like hell on earth 😭😭🙏🏾

Thing is it’s abnormally hot at the moment, we’re not used to it in the U.K. are we, hopefully it will get cooler soon .

We don't get it quite so hot up here, so I generally do better over the summer months. If it's too hot I find that I struggle more with my fatigue than pain

Sorry to read how it’s affecting you, I’ve my fan on 24/7 and not been outside as my hubbie came back from his brothers wedding got Covid and passed it too me so I can relate as the nausea is horrid at the moment (one of the side effects of this new variant,take care x

Hi, so sorry to hear you’ve got Covid. I hope you get over it soon. Just take good care of yourself.

GP. 💐

I'm just getting over covid too and the nausea has been awful! I thought it was the decongestants I was taking and stopped (sinuses still blocked now 😏). I didn't know nausea was one of the covid symptoms 🤦🤷. Get well soon X

Hi, I hate this extreme hot weather. All the joints in my hands are throbbing, and my feet, and not to be outdone, my R hip. I do have Arthritis as well as Fibro, but it’s never been this painful.

This severe heat is going to last until next week. I live in the SW of England, and we’re for 32 on Sunday!

Hope you feel better soon.

GP. 😊😊

Give me cold weather every time.

I can always put more clothes on but, in summer, there reaches a point where it would be very antisocial for me to take any more off and I am still too hot.

Yes I’m finding it very hard in this heat. It sucks away what little energy I have. I’m also dizzy and nauseous so I understand.

[BlueTofu]

I find I get dizzy, and I have the joy of hayfever. Loosing sleep when you already have a higher need for rest, is awful. My flat is just as hot as outside, and airless. It's only a studio, so existing in one room. I'm trying the continental method of closed windows and blinds when it's hotter outside ( my uncle's French). But that's only between 9 or 10 at night and 9 am if that. I have to have netting to stop Mozie's and other insects.

Summer is always a nightmare for me, heat just exhausts me even more 🥵 I really feel for you, the temps are crazy hot. At least in Scotland we're not as high but still too hot for me.

[GrumpyTired]

It often doesn't bother me but this year I feel like the heat is triggering lots of parathesia style burning pain all over my body. It's horrible - gave me a terrible night sleep and now the burning is even worse today. Anyone else getting that triggered by the higher temoperatures?

[Lemonyblue]

I agree SoulSley. I'm burning more than usual because of the heat and sooo exhausted!
