Default heat is my major complaint

I am so glad to see this subject being addressed here. I always feel like such a baby if I complain about the heat.

It was 85 in NYC for the Unity Walk this year; I stayed in the shade and tried not to move too much; only a few of our group even attempted the walk; some didn't complete.

I think I am much more sensitive than others - still it is nice to have a general PD connection confirmed (my doc says we lose the ability to sweat out of our hands and feet, so it is all directed to the head and trunk - I have tested this and it appears to be true for me).

I agree with John - I don't drink enough water because of the bladder control problem. And I get a lot of social pressure to "get out and enjoy the sun!" living in the Northwest. I don't have air conditioning (not common here; ubiquitous though in cars), so I dread the coming summer and hope it doesn't get too hot!
