Heat stroke is so dangerous. I’m sorry this happened to you so young and has affected you throughout your life. Everyone must be aware of it and if the see someone who is succumbing to the heat they should help by trying to get them out of the sun to a cooler place and give them water.

It’s difficult when you need to go somewhere and you’re not feeling great. Just be careful, there are those who had to permanently give up driving but have learned to adapt. It’s not worth the risk to yourself or others. I know sometimes it doesn’t feel like you have a choice, but anything is better than having an accident.

Yes I wondered if I was premenopausal, but I’m not pretty sure it’s my brain injury. I think I liked being cold better. At least I could wear lots of layers, but there’s only so much I can strip off when I’m hot.

That’s got to be so confusing. How are you supposed to make sure you don’t get a chill, or over heat?

Still talk to your Doctor. When I felt like that it was because I was severely low on vitamin D. A brain injury can mean you don’t process nutrients properly and you need different levels of things than you did before.
