Heat Intolerance: Symptom of Neuropathy?

I can't tag everyone in this discussion, but reading through the past 2 days' posts, I thought of a couple of things I might add.

Interesting that autonomic neuropathy can cause both excessive sweating and no sweating. I'm in the latter group. I have to stop for lots of breaks when I'm working outside, and always have water and crystal light with me. When it was 100 a week ago, I came in the house, feeling really hot, but my skin was dry.

I like to take showers between hot and warm. If the water's hot, I don't feel it hitting my feet because they're numb. Another thing to be aware of.

Was it in this discussion that @sunnyflower and others talked about not being able to respond to as many messages as we'd like. I'm 2 days behind, and I counted 240 messages in my inbox! No way to respond to them all, even though I'm retired.

@jimhd 240!!! Wow, we are a busy group here on Connect. 😃

Bless your heart Jim!

Jim, as you probably know, I too am concerned when I do not respond or do not respond in a timely manner. We can only do what we can do, nothing more, nothing less. I recognize I have to cut back some. I have shared that I do not want anyone to feel neglected or that I did not value what they had to say and I feel especially bad if I have not answered someone. But I have been reassured by several, not to feel that way and that it is pretty much the same for most. There will always be new people coming onto the blog and I'm sure I've already missed quite a few and their stories but I think I will eventually catch up. None of us are perfect, we are all fallible so we need to adjust our expectations of our self accordingly. This is all South talk, I'm preaching to the choir LOL!

A good care, Sunny flower
