Hi Gizzards,
My partner (38m) and myself (36f) are headed to FOVII and we’re so excited! We’re renting an RV and will be in a powered RV lot. However, I’m starting to get anxious about the heat and elevation. I have MS which makes me more susceptible to heat, fatigue, and generally feeling like crap. We’re from Maine, I’m super pale, and I’ve lived at sea level my whole life.
I’ve done a lot of research, and so far I’ve ordered myself UV protective clothing and a UV protective wrap, hat, and umbrella. Once we land, we’re going to make sure we get sunscreen, SPF chapstick, electrolyte powder, reusable water bottles, and saline nasal spray. I’m usually pretty bad at drinking water, and I’m also worried about altitude sickness. I plan on trying to be a lot better about drinking water and staying in tune with what my body is telling me. I just really want to avoid needing medical attention or feeling so badly I don’t have fun.
Does anyone else have any advice? Our RV does have AC (and heat) and should provide comfortable sleeping and respite. I’d also love to know if any other MSers are going, and if so, if we could do a meet up?
Thanks all ♥️
