It is supposed to be 98 here on Wednesday:eek:, and in the 90s for the foreseeable future.:mad: We usually get this kind of weather in late July/August. We had a colder than usual winter (with too much snow) and now this.

Took a trip with DD to Target. AC in car and store but a HOT parking lot and drive at home. Got motion sickness too, DD drives like a teen, not super smooth. Don't feel good, take a nap, kids woke me up with "MOM!!!!!!!! Where's my/should I/I..............". AC on, cool drinks, feel better.

The heat makes me wobbly, stupid, buzzy-legged, and weasly-stomached. And it doesn't take much heat.

I'm fat, but it bothered me just as much when I wasn't.

We are supposed to go to this neat local amusement park Holiday World next Monday. The temperature is going to have to drastically change! I hate wearing my cooling vest.

I can take indoors up to 80 to 85 degrees, if there is no humidity, or very low humidity and dew point below 60. Perhaps a breeze too.:)

If the precipitation goes below 30, than I know it will raise the humidity and showers are coming, then the dew point raises too.

Dew point is temperature plus add humidity, divide by two, that gives you the dew point. 60 and below is comfortable for most.

I can't watch the weather on TV or radio weatherman because they are always wrong. When I have to go out I stick my head out the door.

If the bone in my leg hurts, (fell at 16 going up stairs :cool: and still have a bone bump on shin), I know for sure it will rain and get humid.

I have A/C but really love my windows open. This week it will be 90's, so not going to happen. I weight about 135, 5 foot 6 inches. But I don't sweat. That is the worst part. I must be indoors, or in the shade if over 80 and outdoors with a hat on.

When over-heated I will get weak and wobbly, stagger, feel ill and dizzy, and have to put plenty of very cold water on my face, arms and cloth to my legs to cool down, then rest. My face, neck and chest gets red and hot.

In the Winter I freeze if it goes lower than 60 degrees. I have a small window for comfort. 60 to 80 F. and below 50 percent humidity.

Since we are all different, it doesn't matter our weight. I know some very heavy people who freeze when I do, or wear a light sweater in the summer.

It's our autonomic nervous system that controls our body temp. Mine is low 97 degrees at normal. If the A/C is on too high I freeze too. In stores and restaurants I wear a sweater. Others are in tank tops. :cool:

Marion, how are you going to move and live in Florida? or have things changed?

At least they have free drinks.;) Hope you are able to go and that the temps fall.

Lady, I was down there for almost two weeks, but I stayed in somewhat effective air conditioning, and when I was inside I used a fan as well as the AC. Our van has good air conditioning, so the only time I wasn’t in a “cool” place was going from the car to where I was going. Still, I felt absolutely awful all the time I was down there.

Both my in-laws were in the hospital for most of that time, so we could crank up the air conditioning at their condo. I am back home now, but we’ll be going back in the second week of July. My job mostly was to man the phones at their condo since they don’t use cell phones, and both of them were in different hospitals.

It is becoming clear that they are either going to have to hire some live-in help, or they are going to have to move back here to Connecticut. It is just too hot for me to live down there.

Argh, the summer in South Florida is brutal along with the humidity.

We moved to a new house in March of this year. The house looked beautiful and well taken care of since we are renting it is sooo important.

Well, the owners neglected to tell us that the A/C unit is too small for the house. The spent a fortune on remodels like granite counters, fancy schmancy lighting and other such frivolous stuff. BUT they didn't update the a/c?!!

Idiots. They are in financial trouble and refuse to make any repairs that aren't considered "material defects" to the house.

I can't get the temp below 80 in the house which is not good enough to control my symptoms. I have my suspicions that this sustained exposure to the heat has contributed to my latest relapse.

I contacted an attorney and we have no recourse :mad:. Apparently in Florida the law requires landlords to provide proper heating to a house but not air conditioning. Crazy, huh?

Sorry for the hijack but I thought it might be good for renters with MS to know this stuff.

Try to keep cool everyone :).

kicker: *SMACK!* :mad:

*hands Marion a fan* :hug:

Twink, Kicker forgot to tell you that she is only 2 ft 8 inches tall..:D:p:D
