Heat Intolerance

[annette12]

I have Hashimotos and finding this humid weather at the moment hard to deal with. Im from ireland and we dont get much sunshine but want to spend some time in the sun to boost my vit d which is low. How does everyone else deal with it? Any tips would be appreciated.

I can't advise how to deal with it as I'm struggling myself but just wanted to say I feel your pain!! I'm bloating horrendously at the moment, I'm sweating, I feel weak and I am soooo tired. I'm assuming it's intolerance to the heat. What symptoms are you getting? I prefer suffering with the cold I think than the effects the hot humid weather has!!

Hi yes feel weak headache constant urination bloating and irritable. I work with children and we were outside all morn felt lightheaded and dizzy its awful. Im the same i love the autumn i come to life lol. Lots of cold showers help a bit. I dont think i could cope with a foreign holiday this year.

I dropped my T4 dose a couple of weeks ago as the heat made me so uncomfortable although I was barely sweating. It was the tingling electric shocks in my hands and arms that drove me crazy. Today I'm cold with a sweatshirt and thick bed socks on

I sometimes reduce my levo dose (100mcg) by 25mcg on alternate days if I am on holiday and it is very warm. I love sun and dry heat but hate humidity.

Today in cloud covered Yorkshire I wouldn't have my shower until I had put the heating on and warmed up the bathroom. I have been feeling very sleepy today and put it down to the cooler weather. I hate winter!

I can tolerate the heat but not the humidity. It makes me feel very lightheaded and dizzy. I am fine when I am abroad as although you get the heat I haven't had the extreme humidity.

I have Hashimoto's and I feel your pain. I sit in the house most of the time with the air conditioner on. I feel so confined, but if I go outside I am miserable. I love the cold in the winter. I just bundle up and am perfectly comfortable. A friend of mine, who is a runner, recommended these neck wraps that you can soak in cold water for 20 minutes and then wrap around your neck. This seems to help a little when I have to be outside for any period of time during the summer.
