Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Dear Barbara, Please excuse my ignorance, but the " heat shock proteins " you mentioned gave me pause. Do they have anything at all to do with how we handle heat and dehydration? When I told my neuro last week of the episodes I've had of scary heat exhaustion, and of Dr. Cohen's belief that chronic headaches in mito are caused by dehydration from intracranial hypotension, she said that I have to be one of those people you always see in NYC carrying around their water bottles. We both got a laugh when she said that some of the bottles look like they are little baby bottles. We both mocked the Hollywood types you see, always sucking on their bottles.... Thank you very much!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Hmmm...HSPs have a very complex role in cellular metabolism, but in the few cases I've seen of confirmed defects in HSP70 and HSP60, I don't recall any mention of heat exhaustion or dehydration. These were children with catastrophic illness. I think hydration is critical for all of us mito folks! And a lot of us are sensitive to heat and cold, but there are probably other explanations for that.

In that case, the authors felt the biochemical evidence clearly indicated that the abnormalities in beta ox were secondary. Thank you so much Barbara. You've been extremely helpful in helping me to understand all of this! I'll let you know how my appt. with Dr Korson goes on Thursday.
