Does a warm climate make you feel better or worse?
So I'm currently in Jamaica. I've been here for 6 months now due to covid. I usually come as often as I can as I always feel good when I do, but this is the longest time I've spent here and also the best I've ever felt in terms of my sickle cell. Speaking with a few people however I'm learning that the hot climate actually makes some of us feel worse.
What is the case for you?
Hello my fellow S.C warrior SistaQueen. I enjoyed reading your post. I have Sickle Cell S.C I grew up in Southern California. I love heat and hot weather however, I do not like excessive heat. Temperatures over 90F is excessive. I have been visiting the Southern states of Tennessee and Texas. The down south weather is Hot and humid. Unlike Californias dry heat. Also, when it rains 🌧 the water is warm and again the air is humid. Although I feel better in humid climates, my body is still trying to adjust to the change. Thanks again for your post. Stay healthy, hydrated, and strong. #WeAllWeGot

I'm in montreal Canada.....where humidity is a major factor in the warm weather. If humidity is low, symptoms are comfortable.
Both climate, I prefer mild
, Thanks for joining in the conversation. Have you been able to live in the mild climate you prefer? All the best, kathy (Team member)
I’m in Texas, the weather here is mostly warm which I prefer. You really have to watch your hydration, I carry water with me every water I go. Also I was issued a cpap machine not because I have sleep apnea but because my blood oxygen goes down at night. I have noticed that I have fewer crisis. God has blessed me to be here for 65 years and counting. 🙏🏿
