My office lost its air conditioning for 2 days last week and I turned int the melting Wicked Witch but before she actually turned into liquid. You know, the screaming, ranting, raving psychopath. One of my coworkers, who knows I have MS, described my reaction as "overly dramatic." GRRRR. I tried to explain that I was hot from the inside out and then I gave up and worked from home. I wish I could sit in a kiddy pool naked all day with a waterproof laptop. <BR/>Lazy JulieJulie M.

I don't envy you and I feel quite stoopid to complain about 80 degree weather in Seattle...but feeling stoopid has never stopped me before, so...LOL<BR/><BR/>PS.

The past few days have been hot (80's), but not too humid. I'm a bit better and the air is not on right now. Last week it was super-humid, but barely 80 degrees. I was so cranky and lethargic, and just so nasty to whomever I came in contact with. I hated listening to the air conditioners drone on and my computer reacted as well and I had to shut it down for fear of it exploding from the heat!

I think it's hormones stirring my MS (nerve, muscle and joint pain) but I am beginning to wonder if the heat is a contributor to my discomfort.

For the past week I've found myself spinning around in the same thoughts until I realize that I've fallen asleep trying to read something or type something. My head does not like the heat as much as my body detests it.<BR/><BR/>Lisa + heat = stupid blob who walks terribly funny and could sleep almost forever <BR/><BR/>I've taken gel ice pack thingies and placed them directly on my forehead.
