I haven't been on in a long time and have a new user name. (I think my old one was laurab2818). There's some brain fog -- I'm not even sure that was my user name. Anyway, I've been wanting to spend more time here but have moved, divorced, and been caught up in all that for the last couple of years...
I have had worsening of POTS and migraines with the intense heat wave this year. I am in upstate NY and only have a/c in my bedroom. Worst symptoms have been dizziness, shortness of breath, crushing fatigue, migraines, overall pain, more brainfog. On the days that are less hot, I am doing okay, still have to rest, but can do most of the things I need to do, including walking for exercise.
I'm considering getting some of the cooling devices, such as wrist or neck band for hot days. Maybe a cooling vest.... Has anyone had success with these and if so, what brand has been good? It would be nice if wrist or neck band was good. I think I'm more likely to use something like that than a vest, plus less costly.....
Thanks for any suggestions...
Laura
