The Hot is on its way

It's going to be getting hot and I'm dreading it, I feel so listless and ill in hot weather and thats anything over about 23.C, maybe 25.C at a stretch if we got a good breeze, but today its muggy and overcast, even with a breeze.

I don't want to ruin the other thread about summer with my complaining, but it's my worst time of year, the neighbours are being noisy, I can hear them and thier music even though the doors and windows are shut, there are herds of tourists so there are few places I can safely walk Fearn.

I get terrible water retention in hot weather and feel bloated all the time, I sweat buckets and feel thirsty, but also bloated with the amount of fluid I have to drink, I think my blood pressure crashes as I don't seem to be able to get cool, or get rid of the sweat and I feel dizzy much of the time, sometimes it gets so bad that I can't eat, I once went for 5 days without eating, I just couldn't swallow anything solid, I sometimes have to force myself to drink. I've been to the doctors, they've run loads of tests and can't find anything wrong. I think it's summer SAD, but theres almost nothing about this anywhere except one psychiatrist who believes its depression! Well Duh, of course I get depressed, I'm ill and I don't know why, I get shouted and complained at because I can't do the things most others enjoy and I'm just being "miserable and attention seeking" and then people wonder why I avoid others?

  • Your symptoms possibly sound like they're to do with your autonomic nervous system function (it basically contols all you bodily systems that happen unconsciously). I have PoTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) which is to do with autonmic nervous system dysfucntion, although I get different symptoms some of yours are on the list. I've also recently read that this has a co-morbidity with autism too .
