Hello and welcome to Believe in ME with Rhona Barton. 

I’m also back from our motorhome holiday in Switzerland and we had a fabulous time.  It was very warm when we were away, and we came back to the UK just in time for the heat wave!  And that’s what I’d like to chat about this week.  How to keep your cool when everybody else isn’t!  How do we cope with ME in the Summer.

I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that the summer weather has decided to come out and play!  Whilst this is usually welcomed by most, I’m not great with anything above about 19 degrees. 

I know that everybody is feeling the heat but for people with ME, the additional heat can really make other symptoms worse.  For me, it really would make me feel even more exhausted and I seemed to end up extra sensitive to other things, such as light and sound.

One of the things I remember most about my ME was the fact that my temperature control would be all over the place most days.  In the middle of winter my family would be wrapped up in jumpers, hats and scarves and I would be in a t-shirt and shorts and looking for a window to open!  The opposite would be true in the summer.  What about you?  Do you have issues with your temperature control?
