I'm curious what warmer weather means. I didn't react well to air conditioners either. Being cold could be a problem as well, and central heating. Maybe discomfort or shifts of any kind are enough to affect the brain in this state. Unfortunate... |

Hi, yes with warmer weather I tend to have more headaches. I tend not to notice that I am overly hot or cold until I am at the extreme. My thermostat doesn't seem to regulate anymore.
An overly warm room at any time of the year will give me a headache. Even a glass or part glass of red wine gives me a headache. I now don't drink any alcohol. When I was still pushing myself to work I used to keep my office on the lowest temperature possible as it was easier to think with a chilled brain - the clients tended not to stay too long though. My fingers would be blue and I wouldn't realise until it was pointed out to me. I now try to avoid heat whenever possible. Lynlee |

Hello,
Yes! Warmer weather does cause an increase in headaches and brain fog. There is a major difference if I go in the sun. I live in Hawaii (yes it's beautiful) but it is very difficult with PCS. I need to have sunglasses at all times, have blinds on my windows, wear a hat, walk outside only in the morning and evening, etc. Now I can only sit in the shade at the beach with a hat, sunglasses, a rashguard and can't last long. You know that wonderful feeling you get when you lay in the sun? I wish I could feel that way again Also, life here revolves around the beach so if you can't go, it is hard. |

wow...I didn't even think of this. I was in the sun last week ..thur and fri ..laying on a lounge chair and felt awful. I just thought it was from what I did the day before.
I guess I'll be bringing my eye mask (love that thing!). This is going to be a problem...we have a pool...and kids have to be watched in it!! Bad enough they are a lot of commotion for me...and will cause a headache..now the sun too!! |

115 on the heat index. Feeling like my head is in a 360 DEGREE vise. it's quite discombobulating. Even air conditioning only helps some .any buddy have any suggestions . On how to beat this problem .

I have the same problem too with headaches in the hot weather. I use a long ice bag that can wrap around the back of my neck and sometimes I also use ice packs behind my knees on the inside of the bend or just under my feet...It helps a lot.
Hope you find relief soon...This hot spell looks like it might hang-on for a bit longer. It is a good excuse to have an therapeutic treat |
