What Are Your Top Tips For Dealing With Parkinson’s In The Heat?
I'm from Texas, and its can get dangerously hot here. I don't work outside after noon. On days I have heavy outside work, or work in my woodshop, I start at 5 or 6 am. Wear Wiky workout clothes, they keep you a lot cooler and get the sweat off of your body. I hydrate with electrolytes. When I get the first inklings of being tired, fuzzy headed, or too thirsty, I quit. I go in and cool off, and try again later. Stay safe, I found I'm much more sensitive to heat as I've gotten older, and with the onset of Parkinsons. I'm just more patient and careful. You can still do what you want, but at a slower pace. ~Tony
I am now finding I have trouble on both ends... HATE being hot. Work in a manufacturing plant/warehouse...So can't really escape it. Deal as best as possible. Rest when you can in cool, hydrate, eat... All i got.

Thank you for posting that because I was sitting outside after walking in the heat with my dog and I felt like I was completely out of medication. I take Rytary and I don’t want to mess up my schedule so I’m just waiting until it’s time to take the next dose. In the meantime I’m just laying down in the air conditioning and trying not to do anything else until I get my medicine in me and working
Loose, natural fiber clothes (cotton and linen) are cooler than man-made, which trap the heat.
I do my best to avoid it or, at least, stay ahead of it. Our central air is set at 72° 24/7. I will also use the ceiling fan during the day if necessary or a small table top fan at bedtime. My sainted hubby wears what he needs to stay warm!
