My normal temperature is betwee 96.5 and 97.5. When I'm at 97.5 I congratulate myself for being so warm. But I do suffer from heat just as we all do.
It really changes one's inner self to have to always explain. I wait for the right moment, never telling people over and over again, but making it really clear when I have to. Even raising my voice to get their attention. With some people, it never works.

My poor grandma, my father's mother, had 14 abdominal scars from exploratory operations to find the source of her pain. She showed my mom her scars and my mom thought she was a hypochondriac. My mom thought my father was one too, as he had the same problem, and then I became the hypochondriac dujour. We all had Porphyria, undiagnosed until late in my life,never in my grandma or father's life. So we live with this inner wound all our lives, shrugging it off sometimes, other times taking it philosophically, and sometimes yelling loud enough to be heard!!!
