Debbie, sorry to hear you got the "yadda, yadda" speech. I had that too. The whole "well it's hot...yadda,yadda .... try to keep cool"

I do try to keep little tricks in my bag to help keep my body temp down, but sometimes it's still frustrating to be limited by the summer weather. Hope you feel better soon.

i personally don't think neurontin or lyrica works for muscle problems.
i have severe muscle pain on a daily basis. i've tried lots of things but found the best relief from heat and wkly massage, which gets expensive.

i also take ultram (non-narcotic) which helps the pain and doesn't make me sleepy.

i don't tolerate the heat either so i know how you feel.
a little cooling collar ($5.00 from walmart) can help a lot.
other than that i really have to be careful or i'm "toast".

I take Flexeril (muscle relaxer) and the occasional 1/4 of a pill of Baclofen if I'm having a huge problem being a spazz. I actually think that Flexeril seems to work better for me than the Baclofen.
