    Thank you for this post. I’m glad to know I’m not alone. Fatigue is my worst symptom and YES, the heat is a challenge. If I’m in temperatures between 65-75 it’s like a kettle on the stove turned on low. The heat will wear me down and drain me if my energy at a slower pace. 75-90 and the heats turned up to medium. Anything above 90 and I feel like a sink full of water that someone’s pulled the plug and I’m on fast drain. I can literally feel the energy being sucked from my body in a matter of minutes. Here’s an example of medium heat. The temperature cooled down to mid-seventies and I ate dinner on back patio then played cards. I was outside about 20-30 minutes when I realized I couldn’t count or add 2+2 while trying to keep score. My mind was blank. When it’s high 80’s or hotter, my boss let’s me work from home. I’m in the basement where it’s 65. I love being outside and have always loved the heat. This is my first summer having to deal with these challenges. It’s killing me to not get outside. But on the flip side, I love to downhill ski in the winter. We went several times last winter and I did just fine.
