Things to Help You Keep Your Cool

Some climates just make it difficult to keep your cook when you're outdoors. (Because it'll stay cool for days without the need for refrigeration or freezing, those in the know at ProudPatriots.org tell me that the "Cool Thing Neck Wrap" is popular with the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

Keeping cool can also be a problem for those with many disabling chronic conditions because of anhidrosis. Anhidrosis is the inability to sweat, important because without the ability to sweat, the body loses it's primary means to stay cool. (See the large misting fan below for what helps for me!)

An Inexpensive Solution
I keep one of these spray bottles with an attached mini-fan near me at all times -- even while I'm here at the computer. Like many people with exercise-intolerant Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, my normal body temperature is below normal, so when I'm running a low-grade fever, it doesn't take much for me to get overheated. (My mom calls it "weak hot." Mine is complicated by the fact that I don't perspire -- that anhidrosis problem mentioned earlier on this page.)
