#NEISVoid #DisabilityTwitter it’s summer time and the living is NOT easy for #TemperatureSensitive #Spoonies I’m seeing a lot of #BeatTheHeat requests floating around. Maybe we need our own hashtag? I’m feeling like a #HotCrippledMess right now. Whatch’a got? #CripTwitter #MS
Bonus beat the heat tips from this #HotCrippledMess. Stay hydrated! I go through two full 32oz bottles a day. If I’m feeling woozy or weak, I reach for water. It often takes the edge off enough to do other things that help more.
I also like to #BeatTheHeat with #IcePacks. You can get the packs meant for use inside vests & scarves & add pockets to your own clothing. Back of the base of the neck, base of the spine, upper chest, wrists, & forehead are all great places for cooling down a #HotCrippledMess
Wearable fans are a must when there isn’t much wing and the weather is hot. I like to wear the ones that look like a collar, but you can get some that hang from a cord, too. The noise can make it hard to hear but they definitely help #BeatTheHeat.
You can run your inside wrist under cool water for a quick, on-the-go #CoolDown. Especially if you’re foggy & feeling the heat all over. You have a cluster veins & arteries at this site that will carry the slightly cooled blood back to your core. #BeatTheHeat #HotCrippledMess
