Yes, I do believe the heat is a bothersome with Parkinsonā€™s. Thereā€™s a lot I can not do on Hot Days. I get very light headed, dizziness and cannot be outside for a long time. I drink plenty of water and sit in the shade when I go outside.

But not long. I go nuts being in doors all day.

Itā€™s very hard having this disease

Definitely. I live in scorching AZ and the heat in summer definitely affects me. Extremely tiring. When you have PD, it affects the autonomic nervous system, which interferes with your body's ability to regulate temperatures.
