Since the onset of TM, I have found it impossible to be out in the heat.
Several years ago I mentioned this to my neuro. He said that a lot of
people with spinal cord injuries have this reaction and told me I can
get a medical discount from my utility company (which I do) to help with
my increased need for a/c.
Today my daughter wanted me to go shopping with her. I told her I
couldn't due to the heat. I decided to find out why the heat bothers me
so much now. I used to be a sun worshipper, always had a deep tan (I
know now, bad for me), and delivered mail in So. Calif in 100+ degree
weather with no ill effects. So I did some research & found this
article.
I hope this helps someone else.
Now I know it's not all in my head!!!!!!!!
