Hot Weather and Symptoms

[sojii]

I know symptoms are worse in heat, especially humid heat, for most morgies. But for those of you who live in places that get intense dry heat in the summer, do you notice any improvement in your symptoms? Last August and September when the temps were always close to 100, I had so few symptoms I thought I was home free. We're having a very early summer this year, already in the upper 90's, and already some of my symptoms have reduced. But the temp has to be 95 or higher and dry for this to happen.

I know when it rains the buggies start to bite.

Yes, humidity is a bugger. Pardon the pun.

Hot weather does help my skin. Although, I only tend to notice it more when I go on holiday and the symptoms subside. However,within a month it is back to the same sitation and back with a vengence.

The PUVA light therpy has also helped a little.

Janak, how hot does it have to get for you to notice a difference? Do you get many days there over 95?

Every year without fail the sun brings out a heavy neck and chest rash. Quite frankly I wont touch it with a fork. I dont know if they are morgies stacked together, trying to mimic a rash or what. I cant handel opening up this can of worms. I'll be like Scarlett Ohara, and think about it tomorrow. I need the vitamin D, and my old joints crave the sun. It seems as though this smart disease changes its discription, and uses that to keep from being detected from this old slooth. Good sized logs are cool in summer and very toasty in the winter. Alaska can get hot. Muggy days too. When I get to tired I languish on my bed. Bustercat

When you get this rash have you been actively treating your self, in combination with the weather change? I believe this rash may be parasite die off. Is it inflamed and sore?
