Hi @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, got the answer for you today. Saw the Movement Disorder Specialist and he had a fit that I stayed out in the high heat to see my grandchildren’s swim meet. He said I could have passed out. He told me it is not the medication. He said in PD patients that extreme heat makes the autonomic nervous system go haywire and then you can pass out. That is why you were feeling so awful. We all need to be more cautious. Hope this was helpful. Rambo

I have problems also.Meds don’t last as long and doc said it was the heat.I’m a shade person now.

i cant stand the heat any more i love going outside but it makes it hard on me so i stay in doors with a fan on me

I have heavy sweating and I hate it it can be cold out and I sweat so bad

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, not sure what meds you take but I am doing the same thing due to taking Azilect and the heat increases my metabolism rapidly anyway so I carry a huge water bottle and drink constantly. I also carry a washcloth everywhere I go-real fashionable. When outside for a longtime like a my grandbabies swim meet I use one of those cooling towels around my neck like the athletes use. I was always a sweaty person but this is horrible! No need to put makeup on, I just wipe it off the minute I go outside. Guess you don’t need my advice for that. LOL. Rambo
