First, I’m from Clearwater Florida. Just a few years ago if a day was 85 or 95 degrees didn’t make a lot of difference to me.
A few days ago I went to a “outdoor get together” where I had to walk with my walker a considerable distance from where I parked. The temperature was 96 degrees and the humidity was high. I was able to sit under an umbrella. I hung in for almost an hour and a half. I was feeling unusually tired, a different tired, had to leave early. Getting back to the car was a struggle. Understandably now, in some aspects, I have not recovered. That venture may have been a mistake.
ALS sites really don’t have a lot on this topic or I scrolled past them.
Do other members have a loss of heat tolerance like this since diagnosis?
