I had too much sun

[image/video - please log in to see this content]

I'm now burning hot, feeling sick and have a pounding headache. I should really know better with the temperatures we've been having.

lol yes you should be it’s good isn’t it just think of what a nice colour you will be
MommaBear · 26-30, F
Electrolytes not just water! And aloe for your burns 🫂
Khenpal1 · M
@MommaBear basically its fruits
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
I had some lemon juice in the water but I didn't add any salt @Khenpal1

Im not a big fan of the heat myself.I like a cool breeze with it.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@SecretSquirrel I think a cool breeze can actually be worse though in some ways because you under estimate the intensity of the sun if you feel cool.
SecretSquirrel · 56-60, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 yes good thought..
Khenpal1 · M
yes , buttermilk and aloe vera is great
My daughter had heatstroke yesterday, the most almighty of 2am nosebleeds and a temp at 5pm. Hope you feel better x
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@0uijaFinger I am sure you take very good care of her, nice to hear. Most importantly, it is nice to hear she is feeling better.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@samueltyler2 you are such a gentleman with how you deal with hurt feelings or conflict online. ❤
@PatientlyWaiting25 he has a weird fascination with my kid 🤷‍♀
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Try aloe on the burn. I know you are only into naturals but paracetamol might help.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 you might take a coolish shower. Your temperature is not potentially fatal, or i would have suggested an ice bath. But, best to lower your tempersture and get relief from your headache
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@samueltyler2 I'll go and do that then.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 good idea.

I am used to the heat and just mowed our lawn with a 103 heat index. I'm cooling off now.

Get some food-grade inner leaf aloe juice - not that green gel stuff with alcohol in it
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@faery I have an actual plant.
faery · F
@PatientlyWaiting25 Even better
InstructHer · 61-69, M
Hope that is all better. Cooler here today but sun is still strong of course.

MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
I hope you are feeling better now
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@MrAverage1965 yes thanks.
paddles111 · 26-30, M
i hope you feel better
HenrySpanx · 46-50, M
Drink lots of water and stay in a cool place. You have minor heat stroke
pdockal · 56-60, M
Feel better
Take care of yourself
pdockal · 56-60, M
@pdockal You're the fire department. Do something!

@samueltyler2 still thirsty and stomach feels a bit unsettled still but I feel a lot better than I did yesterday. Thanks for the info I definitely think I had heat exhaustion so I will be much more careful in future.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 everyone needs to become aware of the phases so they can prevent the more serious ones. During the hot summers, we kept a huge supply of ice in the ER to pack patients in who develop hyperthermia.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@samueltyler2 I didn't know early symptoms are muscle cramps, if I had, it would have been a warning to get out of the sun earlier.
nevergiveup · 61-69, M
We just got back from Spain. It was 35 most days and we had a day where it was 42. The wife got burnt. Spent a lot of time putting after sun on her as she was peeling
InstructHer · 61-69, M
Dehydration as well. Plenty of water, shade and rest young lady!
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@InstructHer I forgot to pack it. Which is stupid cause I always fry in the sun.
InstructHer · 61-69, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 you clearly need a reminder! Red hair in the sun? A red bottom required.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@InstructHer you're probably right
Oneofthestormboys · 56-60, M
Ouch!
Make sure you drink an absolute ton of water, get some after sun lotion in the fridge and use that for some instant relief x
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 there is an herbal product that you can take that helps orevent sunburn.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@samueltyler2 what is it called do you know?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 it is sold underbthr name heliobore. It contains fernblock aka polypodium leucotomos.
ironborn · M
Are you a redhead?
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@ironborn I know, I was an idiot. I should know what effect the sun has on me by now.
ironborn · M
@PatientlyWaiting25 I'm not redheaded but pale skinned, I've been there though...it bloody hurts and makes you feel very rough. Hope you're on the mend x
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@ironborn yeah, I felt awful yesterday. My skin is sore today of course but I'm feeling better.
ironborn · M
Ouch, sunburn is horrible...you got anything to put on it?
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@ironborn aloe vera. It's helped a lot
Drink some mineral water

Or

Pinch of salt and water
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Hope you are feeling better now
Adstar · 56-60, M
Sounds like your suffering from heat stroke...

Your skin being sun burnt is no where near as serious as your headace and sick feeling..
