RE: Does the heat bother anyone?

I am going on my 3rd week of treatment and I've noticed I'm becoming a little more sensitive to the heat. No rashes yet *knock on wood*, but I just feel more exhausted when I'm out in the sun. Or if it's a hot, muggy day, i start feeling "icky" after being outside for half and hour.

When I work in my yard I break out around the inside of my arms. When I get out of the sun, it goes away.

Just another fun statistic.

5 and counting!!

It is really bothering me.....I seem to be more sensitive to it...thinking it's the riba. If I want to ride on my bike...I have to head out before 8am and be back by noon. Plus I live in super hot Florida.

You know it's been about 94-96 deg F here the last few days and one thing I have noticed. I'm not sweating. Usually the last few years I have been very sensitive to the cold and especially the heat, sweating profusely.  I don't know if it's the meds or getting better. I guess I'll find out after treatment. Either way I'll take it.

The heat killed me last summer. I couldn't go into the heat for more than a few minutes at a time. Which really was a pain cause I spend so much time outside in the summer. I'm 2 weeks post treatment and the heat still bothers me but it is getting better. Treatment also screwed up my whole since of temp. If I touch something warm it burns like fire and if I touch something cool it feels like liquid nitrogen. Just another annoyance to go along with all the other little fun things involved with treatment.

No, love summer. What really got to me was the cold, it was awful all winter. Just could not get warm. Really love the Spring and Summer thawing me out finally.

I am about 6 weeks into treatment, still waiting for my last med since the insurance is being slow. My side effects have increased lately, and I noticed that the heat really gets to me. Anyone else get this?
