The heat here is really making me sick!! Not kidding!

I can't stand the heat either. Really makes me appreciate the " extremely hot summer weather " here is about 20. And that's unusual.

Thanks for being so understanding - and for all your advices to keep cool!

I wish I could tell you that it has cooled off meanwhile, but it didn't. Even though there was thunder and some heavy rain today, it's still warm, and VERY humid, and they say the humidity is going to last the next days. Also, it will be really hot again next week, so there's just no end in sight. It's simply unbearable!

Besides, I have learnt yesterday that I have a lack of vitamine B12, something that needs to be treated. I will go and see my doctor tomorrow. Maybe this is because I feel so extremely miserable this summer?

It's not just the wrists, it's the pulse points.. all of them, and it works. Coldness/coolness, whether it be ice or cool compresses on wrists, behind the knees (really) behind and around the head. Wet down your hair. Sit in a tub. Heat stroke/exhaustion is very serious and can be deadly. Extra salt and more water intake than you think you want. If you start to get nausiated get to a medical facility quickly. No joke.
