Hi @jimhd as a result of a ruptured AVM I also have neuropathy. I get overheated frequently and believe it is from my damaged nerves. They cannot sense body temperature as well. I often do tasks and take breaks in between. I do not stay outdoors longer than 15 minutes at a time when it gets hot. I live in Florida so I spend more time outdoors in the winters. The cooler temperatures are easier on me but I enjoy Florida’s climate all year long. I hope this helps. Unlike you, I do not have a progression and therefore do not take any medications because for my condition I refuse. I rather not deal with any additional health issues from potential side effects. The medications simply do not offer a cure. I find many of the medical staff has no answers so I rely on myself to research and learn by trial and error. Who would know my body better than me?

Thats true. Doctors know drugs not our bodies and get offended when we say how we feel

@avmcbellar More power to you for not using medications! Very admirable. I cant imagine how immobilized I'd be without pain relief from medication. I hope to one day find others ways that can handle and treat my pain. #MayoClinic
Keep up the good work!
