Members shared creative strategies for managing pain and discomfort in heat and humidity, with cooling methods like neck fans, dog cooling mats, ice water, electrolytes, light cotton clothing, dehumidifiers, and cooling vests with removable ice packs emerging as popular solutions. Several members described their routines of staying indoors during extreme heat, using multiple fans throughout the day, showering twice daily, elevating their feet, and taking pain medication when needed to get through difficult days. A recurring theme was the community's resourcefulness and willingness to try unconventional solutions, from repurposing pet products to exploring natural remedies for excessive sweating, all while supporting each other through the frustrating cycle of heat sensitivity and brain fog.

A fan, electrolytes plus water, putting my feet up, and avoiding the sun helps me get through hot days. I found some more tips:

I’ve heard a dehumidifier works great for bad humidity, Jenna. Can you take Advil etc?

@NESHey if it helps that’s what matters :)! I hear ya on needing to cool many oarts of the body. I found one on amazon that wasn’t very expensive. It’s a little loud but works alright, just needs to be charged more I think. The brand is ASNUG this was a great invention. I’ve never heard of a dog cooling mat, I will look this up, sounds brilliant honestly!
