Yes for me the heat makes me weak and exhausted. Doesn't hit me instantly though. It may take a couple of hours or more after I have been in the heat before the exhaustion hits me. Usually the next day I will have a hard time too. I had a very mild case of TM and have mostly recovered except for the wicked flare ups of weakness and exhaustion that occur sometimes randomly but almost always after I have been very busy for a day or two or have spent too much time in the hot outdoors. This is one of the very few symptoms for me that have persisted for years even though I am mostly *normal* otherwise. Being too active and hot weather are my enemies.
The banding I had in the beginning of my TM and it was just a tight weird feeling around my mid-section about where my bra would go around. I have never felt any of the pain that so many of you experience with TM. For me the banding was just weird and uncomfortable. It has been gone for a long time and has never come back.
