MCTD, Fibromyalgia, and Hot Weather - Oh My!

We moved to deep south Texas to enjoy the 55+ life style. We had first retired to east Tennessee. It was hot and humid there in the summer but seldom ever a breeze! In deep south TX, there is NEVER a good hair day, breeze rarely ever quits. I have Myasthenia Gravis (MG) which is also affected by being over-heated. The medication I take for MG says to avoid sunlight. Although I used to love working in my flower beds for brief periods, this summer has been the hottest since we moved here in 2014. No going outside just to be outside! Thank God for A/C! NO HOT STEAMY SHOWERS, using a cooling vest and wearing white, thin long sleeved tops, sun hat, etc., if wanting to do brief 'gardening', cooling down the car before going somewhere, waiting until evening when it gets below 100, staying out of the hot sun and in shade if possible, etc.

Kay, where are you in Deep South Texas? I spend 6 months every year in Palmview. Checked out summer last year, and it was okay, but too far from kids and grands. Maybe when they're older and too busy for us...
