Thanks guys. I think I will just try to stay out of the worst heat in the middle of the day and just go out in the early mornings and evenings when it's warm but not HOT. There are certainly things I can do inside and maybe I could just open some windows or something to let in the fresh air inside the house and let the sunlight in (provided it doesn't make the house hot as an oven...my boyfriend would NOT like that...lol).

I stayed inside all day thursday and friday and I seem to be feeling better. I still have a bit of a headache but hopefully that will fade if I continue to take it easy. I mean...I ALWAYS have headaches...this one is just different than normal (almost like in ADDITION to the normal headache I now also have this horrible pressure added).

Thanks for the suggestions and thanks for sharing your experience Kathy. I wasn't sure why heat would have that affect but what you said makes sense. If the patches are supposed to control something and only release x amount each day and suddenly out of no where you are getting overdosed because of the heat...well...I can see where that would case some issues. I have continued to wear jeans and long sleeve tees when I am outside (and a scarf and gloves if I am out in the early morning when it's still in the 60s or if it's windy) because I am very sensitive to any sort of air movements and such. But the sensitivity in my hands and arms is improving with the tDCS so I am hoping that tee shirts are in my future soon...at least on mild days. I have been keeping a daily journal and that's how I made the connection with the heat/amount of time I was spending outside and the new problems. Oh well...at least I know now and can try to work around it.

Take care everyone.
