I second that Jan. My mother is hypo, often not properly treated and can

not take the heat. They moved from Texas to the mountains of NC because of

this. Of course I told her she needed to talk to her doctor about the need

for more thyroid replacement :-) They finally did increase her thyroid

replacement.

I have noticed recently that I can not tolerate the heat as well as others and tend to sweat way more than others....I am hypo.

One of the reasons my hypo was not diagnosed correctly at the beginning

is that I was hot all the time (still am, but not as bad).

I not only feel hot most of the time, but radiate heat. I was saw a

little old lady at a party (I did know her) shivering because the

host's AC was quite frosty and all I did was sit right next to her and

she warmed right up (and thanked me)!

Our a/c is constantly at 72. Hubby cannot take the heat, especially at night (he's hypo). I'm usually on the colder side until I have to do lots of cleaning, yardwork, exercise, etc.... then I want to keel over from the heat/sweating (I'm Hashis).

What really helped my daughter when she

was not sweating was wetting her clothing and/or her head. If nothing else, a

bandana dipped in water.

Re: Heat Intolerance

My experience on the heat stroke is a profound " Yes " . Since

our

internal thermostats just don't work right when we get too hot, we

just cannot cool off. Part of my theory is that when we get so hot,

our body is trying to reserve it's functions for vital things like

breathing, so I have found that I do not sweat when I overheat.

The most effective treatment I have found is putting my feet in

really cold water.

My physical therapist recommended a cold wet towel or ice pack between both wrists. It has helped me when I get really overheated.
