PN and Hot, Hot Weather––Any Change in Your Symptoms?

No balance issue here but more numbing and tingling sensations are being felt in my feet. It could be due to the impossible heat wave here. Or, it may be due to my using ice on my back or taking Advil for lower back pain ( I seem to be sensitive to medications). Even a Salonpas patch seemed to make my heart beat faster. And, then there is stress which seems to exacerbate what we are already feeling. Daily life with PN may require microscopic examination. The heat wave was made worse by Canadian forest fires but will soon be made better by cool Canadian air which will have temps going from high 90s into the 70s. A bumpy ride for all!

Hi, @arcuri24 -
I definitely think stress exacerbates the problem - in fact, I am convinced that stress added to any previously present bodily affliction, increases the discomfort. My personal observation/belief is that everything in nature is connected in one way or another. Scientists have evaluated and organized their lists of classifications, and those help us to narrow things down for identification, etc., but in the end, I believe all the parts are dependent upon the whole. (Everything is connected.)
Looking forward to the cooldown along with you!
