Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Ruth, Your Sun exhaustion sounds " normal " to me. I have the same reactions to sun. Studies show that the UV rays are what cause us to have problems with Lupus and the sun. Those even come through the clouds. Even if it's cloudy or shady, you still need the sunblock, hat, umbrella, etc. Saturday it was cool and heavily cloudy here, but I still wore long sleeves, the big had, and sun glasses to work in the yard. Be careful with sun exposure. > Hey all I was feeling pretty good when I got up this morning. After church and Sunday School we went to my brothers church where they were having a BBQ. He had invited us so we thought why not. > > It wasn;t hot. Our high was less than 80 today and noon might have been 70. I was out in the actual sunshine for maybe 20 minutes. I was sitting in the sun cause the shade with the breeze was so cold to me I was shivering. > > I do think the sun was a mistake. My face is bloated and whelpy. I am intensely itchy. However that could be a medication reaction. Today is day 5 or 6 on some new pain meds so the itching could be that especially since it did not start until about an hour after taking the meds tonight. > > I went home from BBQ and went straight to bed for 2 hours. I am still dragging. > > Is that a common or should I say normal reaction to being in the sun. I never paid a lot of attention to things of this nature before other than I looked like a lobster after being in the sun a few minutes. > > Have a great evening > > Ruth in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
