Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 > Jamie, Sorry to hear of your problem. It must be very hard in Arizona. I have the same problem -always have. It has gotten worse as I get older- but was always told It's due to low melotonin production. I burn horribly with just tiny exposure to the sun. I also feel faint,like I am going to throw up and get a headache. I usually sleep alot after longer then an hour in the sun at a time. A couple of things I do for myself are- I wear a hat and as much clothing as I can- since sunscreen doesn't help the symptoms. If you find out any information on what you think The cause it- let me know please.I hope you find a solution. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While as far as I know I've never had any neurological problems, I myself used to get ill from the heat and sun, and know many endurance and distance trail riders who have suffered the same. I started on mega-doses of Vitamin C (accidentally, by misreading an article my brother sent me on the subject of heat problems) and that nipped the worst of it. Then later on I started taking a combination of Vitamin C and electrolytes *before* I started riding (or working in the sun), which totally fixed everything. I have recommended this to various horse people who were having problems and it has always been a winner.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 By the way, if it's OK to use product names on this list, what I used and always carry with me, even when riding, is Emergen-C, available at any drug or health food store. I imagine that other electrolyte/Vitamin C combinations might work too but I haven't tried them. The Emergen-C is a powder conveniently packaged in little foil squares that you rip open and add to water. It's fizzy, tastes OK and you get fast results.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 Being low on essential fatty acids will make your skin burn easier. Flaxseed oil from the refridgerated section of the Health Food Store is an excellent source of these as is raw salmon, which I like in Lomi lomi salmon my new favorite hawaiian dish. Lomi Lomi Salmon Yield: 4 servings 1 lb salt salmon 5 large ripe tomatoes 1 medium yellow onion; chopped 8 green onions I usually scoop the tomato insides out with a large melon baller attempting to keep the outside shell of the tomato as intact as possible. Dice the removed insides and place the diced tomatoes and their shells in the refrigerator while proceeding with the recipe. Soak the salt salmon after cleaning. Change the soaking water occasionally to drain off most of the salt. After 3 to 5 hours of soaking remove all of the skin and the bones. Cut the salmon into small pieces and placed in a bowl. Add the diced tomatoes and also add the yellow onion which has been chopped into fairly small pieces. Cover the mixture with ice cubes until ready to serve. Chop the green onions very small and place them on top of the tomato mixture that you will place in the tomato shells to serve. Just as you serve the shells add a little crushed ice. OR for Quick Lomi Salmon you can add diced raw salmon to your favorite salsa! Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 I live in Australia where theres plenty of heat and sun just about everywhere. A naturopath called Ian White has discovered a flower essence which can help greatly and has helped thousands to overcome stress,trauma and physical symptoms present and past, with heat, sun and fire, even including Xrays . It is called Mulla Mulla, and I know they are available in America because he gives workshops all over the world. I really recommend the essences, you just take a few drops under the tongue 2 or 3 times a day. There is a website but I havnt got it bookmarked but you could look it up under Australian Bush Flower Essences or Ian White, or just Mulla Mulla. It may be too much of a trip for you to find some where you live, but I recommend it if you can get it. ( I have done a 2 year diploma in Flower Essence therapy -not with Ian- and I know they are effective) love Peela Get email at your own domain with Mail. http://personal.mail./?.refer=text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 Jamie, Could it be a reaction to any herbs you recently started taking? St. John's Wort, etc.? PS Speaking from someone who has fainted several times, i say that if you feel dizzy/numb/faint please sit down right where are at, bec. the fall can do more damage that the fainting can. I have had to sit on floors in public and it's embarrasing, but I didn't have to suffer a concussion if I fell. lol (speaking from someone who had a slight concussion when i fainted) and before I learned to sit down beforehand. Take good care and have a great day. Love, Renee and Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Kristine, Thank you for the recipe- I will try it out. I do already take EFA's. Thanks for the suggestion and the very tasty sounding salmon. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 June, I don't get sun burn <Thanks God> but I do get a bit light headed and naseau... sometimes if I am not careful I feel like I may black out although I never have. I can be in the heat 2 minutes and feel like I have been for hours.... just like being heat sick. Headache may arise as well. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 No side effect from herbs either..... I have had this for 2 years all on it's own! I wish it were that darn easy. I haven't actually blacked out yet it just feels like I will sometimes.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 4 to 10 tablespoons of UDO's Oil or Flaxseed oil should handle it for you. Try it and let me know. It certainly worked for me.

I get ill from theheat and the sun.... this never happened to me before a few years ago when Ihad some serious neurological problems... I have overcome most of theneurological problems but still I can not tollerate the heat for any amountof time.I was thinking about the possibility of the hypothslsmus <sp> gland in thebrain maybe since it helps regulate body heat and hormones.Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to overcome this horribleproblem?
