Cog Fog may always be claimed here..

This post is very timely, no matter in which scorching heat wave it was started!

Somebody on another thread mentioned feeling "tipsy" when it gets over a certain temperature, and I would add "weak" to that. Like microwaved jello.

Hello kaw and welcome to NeuroTalk

Even if this thread is a year old this topic seems to pop up every summer.

It only takes a few minutes for some of us the be affected by the heat. In most cases the effect of the heat is considered a Pseudo-exacerbation, which means it's self limiting...once you cool down the symptoms go back to what is normal for you.

I have had the unfortunate experience of heat triggering 4 of my 5 exacerbations (relapse, attack, flare-up), not a pseudo-exacerbation but the real deal. I hate summer.

There are those of us who are heat and cold sensitive...I am both

The hot car problem is why I had a remote starter put in my car a couple of weeks ago. It won't run long enough to totally cool it, but gives it a good head start. It can be restarted if needed.

I have a stick shift car, so I cant get a remote car starter.

I may have to get a new car eventually, so my next car will be automatic...just so I can get the remote car start.

The Chevy HHR with auto has the remote starter standard, not sure how long it is for this world since it is built on the Cobalt platform.

I can feel the borometer moving in my bones.

I'm sitting in a cool A/C house and can still feel the humidity and the barometric pressure changes.

I hate summer. And winter. But I hate summer worse. I think.

Oh I KNOW I hate summer more than winter..After all, I can always add more clothes. There's only so much I can take off (legally...in public).

Amen! And I am past the age of exhibitionism! But isn't 65-70º just about perfect? Then all you have to worry about is overexertion.
