At What Temperature Do You Function Best?

I have been hearing about the heat waves in parts of the U.S. and feel for those affected. Our weather here is extreme from - 40F to +95F. Currently it is around 70F which to me is lovely. Our winters here are challenging but I am also heat intolerant (a big symptom in fibromyalgia it turns out). My early morning walks begin around 6-6:30 AM to avoid the heat.

My ideal temperature is about 60-70F, when I am the most energetic. Heat absolutely drains me; cold just plain hurts. What is your ideal temperature?

I like 65 to 70 during the day and 50's at night. I hate having to plug in my AC but may have to tonight as it was in the 90's and very humid here today.

It was 93 here today in NY--and I think I may be in the minority here, but I LOVE it B)

My joint pain does not seem to be any worse or better no matter what the temperature.

My siblings etc..we are all beach babies...bake and then, swim like fish in cold New England water...no problem. B) ...except hub--Pure Irish-- and he would fry like bacon out there. :blink: We cover him up. :lol:

Ideally of course, 75 is perfect--lucky JUDY in California!! :)

That must be really hard, actually. I prefer evenings/nights cool at around 50F or so.

Actually I can't complain because the house is nice and comfortable. But, yeah, I like nights around 50

I just checked outside to report to you guys....it is 75 right now at 9 PM but it is nice ...Windows wide open!! Hubby will want the AC on, but I prefer the breeze and overhead fan. We live in the country and the tree frogs are noisy tonight and the fireflies are flitting all around...pretty cool! My cat is trying to catch them :lol: I already shooed her away from the bunnies today <_< ...

I like early morning about 55 F, and mid day to be around 65 or so. Igh, the heat just makes me cranky.

Oh, I don't mind cold. I only mind ice.

I live in So FL where its 90+ degrees 7 mths of the yr. I hate it but enjoying gloating in the winter when my friends are freezing their A$$e$ off up north lol...

I agree with the others low humidity & in the the low 60's to low 70's I like it so I can walk outside & not sweat or feel tired & sweaty .

My Florida friend often sticks her tongue out at me on Skype as she is in her tank top and I am wrapped in a blanket with a fire raging in the wood stove all winter. I used to visit her in August and that stiffling heat never bothered me. When we went down there in the winter, I swam in the gulf and the people thought me insane--it was "too cold" for them. :blink:

Yet, last summer, in the throes of celiac illness (preDX) I was FREEZING cold and wearing a sweat suit. My body temp was 94 and I did not sweat in a sauna. How weird was THAT?? :blink:

Do you guys think I'll level off at some point??? :huh:

I like anything below 80. I grew up here in south Florida and I hate the heat. I know it gets hot just about everywhere in the country, but when I'm sweating on Halloween, it's frustrating. I can remember going swimming on Christmas day when I was a kid. I have spent some winters up north, and I start shivering faster than anyone else, but I prefer it to heat. It's easier to keep layering up than to take them off and still be hot. :P

I like cool and dry. Even in the winter, I never have my thermostat set above 62. It is dry here, and although it does get hot (90's) sometimes in summer, nights cool off so much that windows open is all I need.

I think I function best at whatever temperature it is not. :rolleyes:

I can't take either temperature extreme of very hot or cold anymore. Moved out of the midwest to get away from the subzero winter ****. In northern CA and the Pacific northwest unless you go up into higher elevations the winters in the valleys are not as bad, but they are wet. Wet. and wet. And the summers are dry, and hot.

Except this year it kept raining, and raining, and it never warmed up. Up until a week and a half ago it was still going down into the forties at night (farenheit, so that would be about 6

As a person who has done more than play an occasional game of golf or tennis and being an avid hiker, skier, snowmobiling, dirt and street motorcycling... I have spent many days and nights sleeping in an unheated cabin outside in cold temps below zero with no running water and using an out-house to spending days crossing deserts in temps above 115 deg.

The heat drains everyone (yes everyone) when you are outside and not in an air conditioned environment or a cave. When I compare that to being properly dressed (warm/ comfortable) in a cold environment outdoors I must say that I feel better being in the cold.

Now if you ask me if I prefer to live in a warmer or colder area i would prefer to live in a warmer area with a good air-conditioner. But if I had to live full-time outdoors with no roof over my head for the rest of my life I would prefer being in a medium type of climate between 60 to 85 degrees.

60 to 70 is perfect to me. I am still okay if it dips down to say...50. I just put on a jacket. I hate heat and I hate cold.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
