Talking Grateful for A/C!

It's starting to get hot and muggy in my region.
I was trying to delay using the A/C for as long as I could.

I had awakened this AM, feeling as though I had been hit by a truck.
I was very weak, limbs were tingling, muscles were jumping, I was aching all over. My ribcage was constricted with tight muscle spasms. I was so weak I could barely walk even a short distance to the kitchen. I could not stand for long at all. I have had to be very supported by furniture/pillows all day. It had taken several hours to get the heat and the humidity to drop. My body (nerves) had needed to cool off, too. I could not stay awake for the life of me. Wow!

About 6 hours later, when all had cooled and had been dehumidified, I could start functioning. The weather changes can knock me flat out and can render me totally dysfunctional. Muscles are weak and cognition slows terribly.

I am extremely noise sensitive. We keep trying to find a semi-quiet conditioning unit. It seems impossible to find one quiet enough. Eventually, the noise starts causing problems, too.

I just keep trying to get through each day, each week, each season.
I know many of us do this.

Stay cool!
