Coming into winter weather, has the weather impacted your CKD more?
I live in London and it's freezing outside now that we are in winter weather, which means flu season and colds which is easy to catch with our low immune system, How's the Winter Weather for you been for your CKD and how are you Copying? (Depending on your location).
Hello
, I'm not sure if the winter months impacted me more or not. I do know that I had Covid and a touch of the flu. The summer months bother me more than winter. The pollen kills me. I have so many other chronic illnesses. I don't know what is bothering me anymore. How does the summer weather effect you? Diane (Team Member) How is this heat effecting you? Diane (Team Member) the weather is awful I get heat stroke and heat rashes so easily and with winter I can at least put layers on but with same it’s impossible but I’m realising there’s a whole different struggle of weather with summer and winter for different reasons.
Definitely sun screen is a viral part of a transplant patient and I try to get a hand held fan and always water with me.Thank you for sharing that. I have severe psoriasis, (since 5 years old) diabetes along with CKD. I remember the doctor telling my parents how the weather would affect me for the rest of my life. We didn't have air conditioning, so my father was like - you better get some paper and start fanning yourself. He is 90 years old now. I asked him did he remembered saying that to the doctor. He said you are still here right?? He is funny. I do drink a lot of water now. I didn't at first. Do you put anything in your water or just drink it straight? Diane (Team Member)
