Yes heat has always been a trigger for me. It's actually also a symptom. I get hot and anxious when they are coming and. Old and sleeping as it faxes away.

Ironically, the endorphins released during exercise usually help me. Since I don't own a pool I am always searching for a way to exercise and stay cool.

So one night my husband comes out of the shower and hears a huge racket in our room and found me doing naked wind sprints with all the fans pointing at me. Although he tries to be supportive he couldn't help but laugh which made me laugh hysterically.

So ther I was a thirty-something mother of three, naked, with tears and snot running down the left side of my face doing wind sprints in my bedroom at 1:00 am laughing hysterically and the ridiculousness of this condition hit me.

Once upon a time CH suffers where thought to be possessed or insane.  I can't imagine why.......

Hi, all,

When the core body temp rises, the body absolutely freaks out, so it is no surprise to us that people have all sorts of events secondary to excessive heat.  It is interesting that so many of us have this response, though. 

It seems that there are a great many factors that 'get the ball rolling' when it comes to CH.  I continue to believe that we will soon establish a(n) hypothesis that accounts for at least some of the initiating factors (triggers).  There just has to be some sort of explanation.  Doesn't there?  I believe there are many ways to start the explosion, and that medscience has been shortsighted in trying to the 'cause', when there are likely a whole boat-load of causes. The focus has been on abortives, and a few guesses at what might be called preventatives. 

Take care, and may your days get better and better.
