I know it's August, but why oh why did it have to get all hot and sticky and nasty again!?? And NO AIR MOVING EITHER! It's sorta funny--I always heard growing up that a person favors the weather that normally happens in the month/season they were born. I was born on June 19, should've been born the first week of July, and I HATE HOT WEATHER! Actually, I should amend that to I've hated hot weather since I my late teens. Loved it when I was a kid, but once I turned into a "grown up" (even before all the various and sundry chronic illnesses I have cropped up) I've had an awful time with heat and humidity. I really hate sweating, because I usually end up with at least a little bit of heat rash, but I learned when I was on Paxil that sweating is not necessarily a bad thing. Paxil (and other psych meds) tend to make it harder for the body to regulate temperature, particularly heat. When I was on Paxil, it inhibited my ability to sweat. When ya can't sweat, or it takes a lot longer to start sweating, you get really really REALLY hot and really sick from being that hot. It sucked. It also absolutely obliterated my sex drive to the point of seeming to barely even notice GENDER let along get any sort of sexual reaction from it, but that's a whole different post.;-0
