After my injury I now have a very bad time trying to re adapt to different climates and tempretures,seems even a small change hits me like a 20 degree change in temp and seems to take weeks to get used to it .the cold is much worse than the heat but they are both affected.
Dose any one eles hvae this problem also ,and how or what do you do yo combat it .I find living in an ambeint climate helps alot.
cheers,
Daz

Where do you live? It is warmer everywhere because of global warming I think.

My tolerance for temperature is in the rage of 75 to 85 degrees. Some of mine maybe the on set of Menopause too. But it is interesting to know that some it the temperature problems may stem from the tbi.

Since our internal tempature thermostats is hormone regulated. It makes me wonder several things... such as maybe the thyroid gland is upset from the trauma, which hormones need some help; would soy help ...

well that adds enough to the kettle for thought. Sure got me to thinking about connection.

Try flax seed. It is an all natural and inexpensive way to regulate hormone problems associated with menopause. It works for many people

I guess our thermostate is connected to our cumputer(thats what they call our brain)now we have to wait until the wires gets connected.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
