Hello everyone,

How are you today? 🙂

I thought I'd open this discussion so that we can talk about the impact of hot weather on chronic pain!

Do you think hot weather worsen your pain? How do you cope with the heat during summer? Would you mind sharing your tips with us?

It certainly worsens my lymphoedema. Fortunately I now live in the far north where it doesn’t get hot. We had two days of heat compared to down south. I wet my lymphoedema stocking to cool my leg and use an umbrella on the golf course as a sun Shield.

The recent tropical heat wave was generally intolerable but dealing with chronic pain also was a tricky one. Breathing in cool air helps greatly with pain tolerance I find so I reached for the fans, increased my pain killers and hoped for the best. Not mind blowing but effective for me!

Heat definitely affects the amount of seizures I have, and obviously the length of the seizures.

I tend to have more headaches during the hot weather also. I take Paracetamol or Panadol to help.

It’s not so much the hot weather, I find the humidity to be the bug bear, that certainly makes everything worse. 😪
