This happened to me when we were working at our farm one hot July during a drought - still not sure if it was heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

Sweat POURED out of the top of my head and then abruptly stopped. I had uncontrollable, projectile vomiting and when we arrived at the ER, I started shivering so hard my teeth were chattering. My body temp dropped to 94 and they had to put heated blankets on me. (The outside temp was over 100 degrees.) I was so weakened and unable to do anything for a couple of weeks.

Since then, my body thermostat doesn’t seem to work anymore, I don’t perspire at all and have to plan every single thing around the outside temps. I can’t even go to the beach now in the summer. 😭 I always have to have moving air and use the ceiling fans all year, even during snow.

That is scary!

I try to get all my barn and garden chores done before 10am, but even then, I will start pouring sweat and that’s my cue to stop and go in.

I have started drinking electrolytes first thing before I head out and that helps a ton
