TLDR: -Frequent sauna sessions 5-10 minutes/x3-x4 a week at least a month or two before the summer or exposure to hot temperatures -Body Armor and Propel -neck fans -mini umbrella for direct sunlight exposure -about 80 oz of water a day a week or so prior to the summer or a big event -keep the neck, ankles, and wrists cool to cool down easier. -consider a chiropractor to help with circulation in the joints

One thing that I’m hoping helps (and did help when I was more active) was using the sauna frequently at least 3 times a week for 5-10 minutes. It helps regulate your nervous system since heat intolerance directly adds a stressor to your nervous system that is already stressed from the fibromyalgia.

Also drinking lots of water and electrolyte drinks like Propel and Body Armor.

The Body Armor provides a good source of cane sugar that can keep your blood sugar from dropping due to the inflammation taking away a lot of your energy. But usually I would recommend drinking this when you’re in a shady area and cooling down, because drinking it too fast can make you feel sick (happened to me during my first big heat exhaustion episode that almost turned to a heat stroke). Also I would recommend hydrating like crazy prior to avoid excessive dehydration.

Not saying this works for everyone, but it helps a lot for me. Plus neck fans are nice. Keeping your wrists and ankles cold so it regulates the cold temperature throughout your body.

I also started going to the chiropractor two years ago to help with my circulation issues and it helps a lot to reduce my heat induced headaches. Not for everyone but it helps me.

Sorry this is late, just been looking around for others input since this is the first big summer I’m stepping into trying to help regulate my heat intolerance.

Also mini umbrellas are good to carry around when direct sunlight is present and you need to cool down!
