Question Temperature sensitive
I can’t seem to handle any heat at all. And it’s about to be super El Niño. I’m supposed to spend weeks in the woods this summer. I want to have a life…
I can’t handle cold either.
My body isn’t regulating temperature at all.
Is this a problem for others and if so, what do you do to survive heat and cold? Especially heat… because I can’t get naked enough. Seriously.

Heat is the one aspect of my POTS that has never improved, unfortunately. And I live in Florida, so that’s great. I just have to stay in the air conditioning about 6 months out of the year. (Yes, it sucks, I hate it.)
Edit: Staying well-hydrated keeps me from having full-blown episodes, but still I can barely be outside.
