Heat Intolerance

It's only in the 90's and I'm miserable...even in the air conditioning. I wonder what causes the heat intolerance? Is it the polymyositis? The medications? Or some other underlying condition we've yet to discover? Whatever it is...go away.

The results of my testing...evidently I'm not digesting my food quickly enough. A "normal" person digests their food (most of it) within 30ish minutes. Doc said after 6 hours I'd digested about 1/4 of my food. He says that is fairly common for people with Polymyositis. Interesting. I've never read that, but it makes sense...those muscles of mine just don't want to work properly.

IVIg next week.
