GO FOR THE CHEFBOYRDEE RAVIOLI MORE PROTEIN!!!!!!

[Puck]

It's so hot. And to add insult to injury, my skull is trying to split asunder in protest. I sure hope that storm my headache is promising me really happens tomorrow.

[Nicodimas]

I'm in a total doom and gloom mode this week, anxiety is sky high....if you've been there you know how hard this is to escape. GRRRRRRR!

Same ole stuff for me..how can't people see the numbers and what is occurring in the background ( positive points is I literally have fundamentally better understanding and know of how it all works and fits together)...but!!!

our whole goddamn system is all tied so loosely together..we really don't appreciate it enough. Modern civilization doesn't have it's shit together at all....A shift sends a wrecking ball that will make the last two great wars look like ..nothing. And it's so so easy.

(strangely this is making me believe we need to work together..now..today...and drop the bullshit arguments..outcast the elite too..since I'm ranty)

It's ugly out there folks..the market might be sky high!! But it's all for show.

Labyrinthitis, still. At least now I can kind of walk normally...just so long as I don't turn my body or my head or my eyes.

When you ask a question and get several answers but none that *actually* address your question.

Were you watching Prime Ministers' Questions as well?

Sounds like every politician i've ever heard.

Except Trump of course, he's a straight shooter who tells it like it covfefe.

Touch of heat stroke - haven't had it since I was a kid, forgot how horrid it is

Hydrate hydrate hydrate. Piss clear twice a day.

I keep forgetting Pomgolians don't do well if it's over 20 degrees.

In all seriousness, if you're getting heat stroke, please please go to hospital, stay cool, hydrate, minimal activity etc.
Electrolytes are good too. No, don't bother with most sports drinks, use the stuff you get from hospitals or pharmacies. Some of the Hydralyte stuff you can get from supermarkets will do in a pinch.

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

Possibly heat exhausation rather than true heat stroke - I think the term gets used interchangeably (after reading further - it's just what I grew up with it being called). It was last night at the end of my horse riding class - think it was a mixture of wearing the hat which is very warm anyway, the temperature and the exertion, given you've got yours and the horse's body heat. I've never been truly good with heat.

Have been hydrating and staying cool since and being sensible in terms of not doing a lot. Feeling much brighter but still going to have an early night to be on the safe side!

Heat stroke is no joke. I had the experience one summer when I worked a landscaping job. It was the first truly hot and clear day of the summer and I was pushing wheel barrows of rock all day long with the sun mercilessly pounding on me all day long (the only thing I was wearing was a tank top and shorts).

When I got home I got very light headed and then went into a spell of dry heaving that would not stop. I had no food in my stomach and was literally heaving up stomach lining. My dad was so worried he sped to the pharmacy and bought all manner of over the counter stomach medicines (Kaopectate, Pepto-Bismol, etc.) not realizing that they would have no affect on heat stroke symptoms.

I toughed it through the worst and then slept for 12 hours straight. When I finally roused to get out of bed, it felt like my stomach was used as punching bag by Mike Tyson because it was so sore from the heaving. Probably the worst experience of my life.

Here's a distillation of a first aid manual, so you don't confuse heat strike and heat exhaustion:

When you have a heat stroke, you no longer sweat.

Heat exhaustion is usually characterized by fatigue and drowsiness (in my lifeguarding days we'd collectively have mild heat exhaustion after a particularly busy and hot day, so I'm well familiar with this), but it's not life-threatening.

When you are hot, but can't sweat, that's when you are in trouble.

[worry]

That's actually very helpful. If you don't mind, now what exactly is "caged heat"?

[Tiste Simeon]

Dunno about that, but you can get something called canned heat but that generally just materialises in the heels...

As you know, I am from America, where we believe Jamiroquai only had ONE song and it wasn't that one.

"Heat Strike" is what the ladies call me.

Can you explain the meat sweats? Is there a "manual" for that? Or should I just go to WebMD and plug in my symptoms?

This is...entirely incorrect.

If you get canned heat, you want to sell all your belongings and buy a cheap VW Van and follow the Grateful Dead around on tour.



Or probably more accurately, it's just a can of sterno for when you go camping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterno

[Abyss]

Correct. Canada is located North of the USA and conducted the only successful invasion of your country. It's why your cute little White House isn't the original.

Sorry.
Eh.
