askye, I have awful heat issues too. I think it must be the medication -- I never used to have problems like this. The slightest amount of humidity, or temps above 70 deg F, and I'm a sweaty exhausted mess. whatever you do, don't wear polyester.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm also worried I wont be able to do this because of heat issues and that would really suck.
I wonder if salt pills or electrolytes drinks would help.

I'm a huge advocate of Ultima for electrolytes in the heat! [link]

Thrive to spite them
I think electrolyte drinks will definitely help. I haven't been drinking enough water overall so that hasn't helped. I also need to lose weight I'm back up to my heaviest, I tend to snack a lot more since I've moved in with Matthew so I have to change that.
Matthew brought me Life water today when I let him know I came home early. It helped so I was going to get some more.
Pix. I'll check that out. I've had a weird reaction to Splenda and I can't remember if I've had straight stevia or not and if I reacted to it. So I say get the Ultima and try it at home so if I feel weird it won't be at work.
I'm having some adjustment time with the other peole in the department but the comission part is really good and I probably won't have as good a week as I had last week often but even I do about ok I can end up with the equivalent of an extra paycheck a month. So I really want this to work out

Gatorade and coconut water both work for me.

I need help in how to phrase something. My psychiatrist moved a few months ago, and I got assigned to someone else at his office, and I'm really just not comfortable with the new person. Like, he'd be fine if I just wanted meds management, but I've got more stuff that I want to talk about, and I'm just not comfortable talking about it with him. The local EDS group keeps a list of doctors that people have gone to and recommend, and one of the psychiatrists on the list is someone else in his office (which is in a good location for me, and takes my insurance, and even has a discount on the co-pay because I'm affiliated with the university), and she looks really good -- she specializes in people with chronic illness and chronic pain. I've got an appointment with him coming up in a couple weeks, and I just realized that I've got a conflict then and I need to reschedule. How do I ask to reschedule with her instead?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hil, I don't think I would explain, just call to cancel the appointment you do have and you would like to reschedule with Other Doctor. If it feels easier, make two separate calls. If they make a connection and ask, just say you think you might be more comfortable with a female doctor.

I second Windsparrow's advice. You don't owe them an explanation. I've switched doctors within a practice, and it was no drama; lots of women prefer women doctors.

Our wings are not tired.
I have a number of multi-doctor practices and switching from one to another is very routine for them. No reason needed.
Having lived in tropical heat for nearly 40 years I have learned about hydration. When they say 1/2 ounce per pound of weight they mean it. I'm pretty much addicted to soda water, both plain and flavored varieties. I drink a minimum of 100 ounces a day, often more, just in plain or fizzy water. And the nutritionist still says I show as dehydrated! Yeah, I sweat a lot.
