In this heat, we all need to think like Buddy and keep as cool as possible.

I am bringing a fan tomorrow for the Community Room, but please do not put yourself at risk by coming out in the heat. We understand and stuggle ourselves. Please keep hydrated and keep safe 💜

People who are in chronic pain like us, often take a lot of different types of medications; but the side effects of these could lead to heat intolerance, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

It is important for everyone to know the signs, symptoms and treatment for these so you can keep yourself and others safe and well. Heat exhaustion, heat intolerance and heat stroke can effect anyone, which is why its important to keep hydrated and safe in this current weather.

Unfortunately I have had heat stroke in the past and it put me in bed for days; and due to my current medication I struggle with heat intolerance but thankfully know I know how to look after myself when it hits.

Stay safe in this weather friends
