Default Heat

Hi limitless1.

I have to avoid heat as when I am hot it feels like my brain is burning and get terrible headaches. Before I gave up working I had my aircon in my office set really cold and preferred to have blue hands and feet with my brain kept chilled to any kind of warm headaches when concentrating hard.

Exercise has to have a limit - can not run - shakes my brain but I can walk up to 6 km a day BUT anything over gives me shocking head aches that can only be stopped by the jabs in the rear end at A&E. The headaches are like my brain is being squeezed and my head wants to explode. - the headaches are more to the front of my head. Stress headaches are usually at the back and I realise that they may be caused by the muscles upwards from my shoulders etc.

My blood pressure has been high since my accident - it seems that my "natural" control of it no longer is in place and I have to take blood pressure pills.

I am a memeber of a gym and can do some aerobic and stretching exercises but have to be careful not to push past my limits, I am sure that I may gradually be able to increase my endurance levels burt it will have to be very very carefully done.

Hope this helps

Lynlee
