Dehydration & Heatstroke With Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Are you staying cool and hydrated during this hot weather? Those of us with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome should take extra precautions to avoid dehydration and heat exhaustion/heat stroke.

Most of us have some form of temperature sensitivity, which can mean that we get overheated easily and our bodies just won’t cool down like they should.  That’s believed to be because of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, or dysautonomia.  The autonomic nervous system controls homeostasis — things like temperature regulation, heart rate, blood pressure, and physical responses to stress.  Sure seems to fit, doesn’t it?
