The "Real Feel" temperature was 107. It is so humid that my glasses steamed up when I got out of the air condidioned car and I couldn't see where I was walking.

Something that is more associated with winter...and I see we have heat advisories again for tomorrow. I heard on the news tonight the overnight low for my area is 76. It was too hot to even sit on my balcony and read tonight.

So update, it feels hotter outside right now @ 11:30 than it did yesterday.

And I loved the wonderful thunderstorm we had at 4 AM this morning, it shook my house. We did get a steady rain for 3 hours which was nice. When we got up for work this morning from the rain and it being 76 overnight, all the windows were steamed up from the outside....it was so strange I never saw anything like it.

I don't know if we had a thunderstorm--if so, I slept through it :P We did get rain, though--which we needed.

I went out at around 9:30, and it was oppressive. I heard it's supposed to break tomorrow--hope so. I can't imagine how people who have to work outside in this manage.

Today it is to reach 100 degrees and with the high humidity it will feel like 115 degrees. And I can't get the old, old cats in the house. This is very dangerous weather.

Three more days of this then we get a break to the high 80's.

I did hear a break was coming for the weekend. Nice beach weather though. I bet the ocean temp is real warm. It was nice when we were at the shore a few weeks ago.

ohh the ocean temp sounds very nice!!! Sand sounds hot though, so that wouldn't be fun. Boardwalk would be nice but too hot to enjoy.

Be safe with the coming hurricanes!

Today in North Carolina the thermometer indicates 100 degrees (in the shade) and the relative heat is 112 degrees.

Last night we had our first thunderstorm (or rain of any kind) in a months time. It's awful!

How about you?

Here in Southwestern Idaho at 5,000 ft it has cool off from last month when we reach 95 or better for a few days.; but no rain for about 2 months and it is dry. Temperature today is about 85 degrees outside but higher inside the motor home. it cools off at night so we need the electric blanket.

Thanks!! I loved Johnny Carson! Off topic, but Craig Ferguson is hysterically funny.....in case you get a case of the up -late-at-nighters!

We had 9 days of >100* and ended the streak today, thank goodness! 5 of those days were new record highs, and 4 tied old ones! Tomorrow a balmy 96*..........

Did you get back to the 80's??

      abnormal weight loss

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @glucel, Unintended weight loss is symptomatic of Thiamine deficiency.  Our bodies use more Thiamine when we are ill and stressed.  Switching to a gluten free diet can also result in a lower intake of Thiamine.   Interesting Reading: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery depletes plasma thiamine levels https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874825/ Gluten-free diet intervention reduces thiamine intake in two weeks... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34583628/ This study found normal people, without Celiac Disease and malabsorption concerns, had a drop in Thiamine after starting a gluten free diet.  They went back to eating a gluten containing diet.  We don't get that option.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like gluten containing counterparts.  Supplementing helps boost your absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.

      Maybe celiac, maybe just ncgs?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Neat1, Yes, neck and shoulder pain can be symptoms of Gerd, which is fairly common in Celiac Disease. Ask for a DNA test, too.  Celiac Disease is genetic.  If you've got celiac disease genes, further testing is warranted.  Some people have Celiac genes, but don't have active Celiac Disease.  If you've got symptoms, your genes are probably activated.   Diabetes, anemia and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Some people with Celiac Disease are seronegative.   Thiamine deficiency can cause constipation and gastrointestinal symptoms.  Magnesium supplementation can help with that, too.  Nutritional deficiencies like these are common in untreated Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Not really.  Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are not accurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels and have vitamin deficiency symptoms before blood levels change.  The brain sends messages to the body to release into the bloodstream any extra vitamins stored within cells of tissues and organs so that important organs like the brain and heart can keep getting a supply.  Even what you've eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours can affect blood tests.  Taking vitamin supplements eight to twelve weeks before testing, will give falsely elevated results.   Because tests for Thiamine can be so inaccurate, as well as time consuming and expensive, the World Health Organization recommends taking Thiamine and looking for health improvements.  Thiamine is nontoxic, even in high doses.  Thiamine is water soluble and any excess is easily excreted in urine.  WHO recommends giving 500 mg/day of Thiamine Hydrochloride for several days and looking for health improvements.  Some people with Thiamine deficiency need higher doses (1000 - 2000 mg/day).   Benfotiamine, a lipid soluble form of Thiamine, can get inside cells without using the thiamine transporters on the cell surface,  which shut down during thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine Hydrochloride has to get in by transporters, or by passive diffusion, which requires higher doses.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  300 - 1200 mg/day of  Benfotiamine are required. Allithiamine (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide TTFD) can cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier cell, so Allithiamine is really helpful with neurological symptoms, brain fog, balance issues, problems swallowing, gastroparesis.  50 - 1000 mg/day of Allithiamine.  Find the best dose for you.   I understand the skepticism about Thiamine.  If I hadn't lived through it myself....read my blog...I was skeptical myself, but I could feel myself dying and was grasping at straws.  Within a few minutes of taking my first dose of Thiamine, I felt better and was astounded at how simple the solution was.   Is nutrition even taught in schools today?  I learned basic nutrition in Home Economics, but that's been cut.  Dieting programs distract from nutrition and mostly count calories.   P.S. Riboflavin Vitamin B2 deficiency has been linked to migraines.

      As far as your neck and shoulder pain goes, yes, this could be a symptom of celiac disease as one of the more than 200 symptoms associated with celiac disease is joint pain.

      10g of gluten or the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread daily for several weeks should be a sufficient "gluten challenge". Your primary care provider should be able to order those tests.
