I'm so happy you are getting that supplement and the 5% raise! Many people are not getting raises now. I hope that you buy yourself something nice, you deserve it!

Derrick and Will did great at Special Olympics.

Derrick got an 1st in Javelin throw, 3rd in Running Long Jump and
an 7th for their relay team. They were in the fastest heat yesterday.
Which never happens. But they must have been really fast in the
trials.

Will got an 5th in both the Softball throw and the 50 meter dash.
And an 3rd in the Standing long jump. Love his sprit he informed
me then others that he won.

I had problems again with the heat so it was a short time at the track
for me. Thanks to the 90's and I believe almost 100 yesterday.
Friday they had to get medical for me.

Yikes, Donna!

Wear a hat.

Stay in the shade.

Drink lots of water.

[Dmom3005]

Yep, Mari

Did all that, still went down. I thought I was better from last years
problems. But the rest of the weekend, I had to take it easy.

Ended up not getting to watch Will at all. Because of were his activities
were.

Donna,

Did they say whether some of your medications make you susceptible to
heat?

I'm so glad the boys did well

I understand about the heat
I had problems with it when I was young, even prior to the MS. Heat stroke is not fun. I'm sure you were pushing yourself a little too hard so that you wouldn't miss anything. I'm sorry you missed out on Will's events

[Dmom3005]

Heat has never been my friend either. I just have gotten worse again.
When I was a kid my mom kept an eye on how long I was outside.
But I didn't spend much time there.

Since your problems with the heat have gotten worse, I think it's worth a trip to your PCP to get checked out. I'm sure you're properly hydrating yourself, but an electrolyte could be off and causing the issue. Meds (especially cardiac meds) and too high/low blood pressure can effect how your body reacts to the heat as well. You're still going to be sensitive to the heat because you always have been, but hopefully you can get whatever's exacerbating the problem taken care of so you're not totally miserable all summer

When my heat issues got worse in my late teens, I found out I have hyponatremia. I've been on a high salt diet for a long time. I still have it to a lesser degree, but my blood pressure is stable and I haven't passed out in several years. My main problem now is due to the MS. Heat exacerbates my symptoms, the worst being the fatigue.
