    Even though I live in Southern California and it doesn’t get as hot as places like AZ or Texas, last summer was HORRIBLE. We had those horrible fires and it was so hot I couldn’t really move without being unsafe.

    Meaning, my symptoms get 100% worse in the heat. Like my walking/balance and my slurred speech. Does this happen to you?

    Yeah it also happens to me. I also sweat like crazy and I don’t even workout. I dislike the fires here in SoCal.

    I live in the Dominican Republic and the only effect i get from the heat is swollen feet. My sister lives in New York and she tells me it gets worst for her in the winter because her joints get stiff
