Summer isn't quite here, but the weather is warming up. We've hit the 90's F the past few days & it's bringing on the Oklahoma humidity as well. Yesterday wasn't that hot, but it was like swimming through the air.
Why am I talking about the weather again? The weather can make people in the best of health feel like crap. For + people it can be even more intense. Here are some pointers I've learned over the years of being +. The warmer weather can be a problem with:
- Warmer weather can deplete you. Make sure you stay hydrated & watch your nutrients
- Warmer weather can also make it more difficult to sleep, so do your best keep up with your rest
- Summer is brighter. Many HIV meds can cause you to have adverse reactions to light & heat.
- Being overly warm can cause a host of issues like heat exhaustion or even heat stroke, as a less than perfectly healthy person, you're probably more apt to suffer from these if you're not careful
- Summer weather can be taxing on your mental state. Being hot is tiresome, physically & emotionally
Those are just a few of the things to watch out for as we enter the warmer part of the year. Hopefully this summer won't be as hot as last year.
Cya...
