As I am, I can no longer handle this heat.
Some days I will get very dizzy and stumble as I try to walk across a room.

and I live in TEXAS! OMG, I would have died if the grid had failed during the summer

AC is what saves me, for sure

I always feel much better when it is gloomy and rainy, I am not sure why....

My perfect place. Would be high of 75 everyday, low 50. And rain on Tuesday and Thursday to keep the world alive.

No, I haven’t found that place yet.

Several months per year, average highs are in the mid 80s; average lows in the 70s.

November to May would be closer, 70s/60s for highs and lows.

San Diego would be pretty close, year-round.

Average highs range from 65-75 and lows from 50-65 or so.

Down side is that it's really expensive to live there. And the traffic.

I have anhyidrosis and this makes life miserable for me. I am always hot and get miserable even at 70 degrees and don't even talk about humidity. Only advantage is I have never had clothes or sheets soaked with sweat because I don't. Only a part of my hands and small patches on face.

Yes, there is such a thing.

Do your insides begin to vibrate when you start getting overheated?

Same here. Yup, people think I'm crazy.

I've talked to numerous docs about this & none of them.had a clue. Makes me wonder if I had heat exhaustion or heat stroke as a kid & nobody mentioned it.

I'm not diabetic either.

And I hate the summer full stop.

I start having anxiety attacks when the clocks go ahead, knowing what's coming.

I sympathize with people who dread the onset of winter. I know they suffer the same anxieties that I do - just at a different time of year, and for different reasons.

I love the cold, the snow, the days that grow dark early in the evening. Unfortunately, few people sympathize with me - they think I'm a freak of nature.

I spend my summers counting down the days until the fall, anxiously awaiting that first breath of chilly air that reminds me that winter is on its way.

I break out in a poison ivy type rash. Started in my 20's..There is now more clothing and sun screens available, but it means being covered head to toe. I also get very ill in the heat. It is real, and I understand.

I can sympathize. Four years ago I had 2 head traumas within 6 weeks, and I could no longer stand sunlight. It made me dizzy and sick and gave me terrible headaches. After months of dr. visits and an MRI, a neurologist finally diagnosed me as having broken the nerves on both sides of my head. I think it was the Alimentary nerves, but not sure I'm remembering the name right. They also found that 2 discs in my neck herniated and were impinging on my cervical cord by 30% and I could die or be permanently paralyzed below my neck if I didn't get tis fixed immediately. Just saying, sometimes it benefits you to keep on pushing to find out what's wrong. It took me 5 months of continually calling my dr's, telling them something was wrong, before I found out this dire information.

I had the surgery, disectomy at 2 levels with fusion and 3 years later my nerves finally have healed and I can go outside in the FL sunshine (super hot in the summer) and be ok. I can even work in my yard again without throwing up or falling down from dizziness. YAY!
