Sometimes I definitely feel heat intolerance. I DO take Prednisone, however, and that can cause hot flash sensations. I have other medications that I take though that can also cause both heat and sun sensitivity. I just use more fans, hats outside, and layer clothes for easy removal and go with the flow ;)

Hey everyone, how have you been feeling lately? π
We often talk about pain, stiffness, and fatigue with rheumatoid arthritis, but what about those of us who seem to overheat more easily than others?
Some members in our community have shared that they feel constantly warm or experience intense waves of heat, even when others around them are perfectly comfortable. For some, this shows up as night sweats, heat in the hands and feet, or just feeling drained in warmer weather.
π£οΈ Letβs open up the conversation:

This isnβt something many doctors talk about, and the research is still catching up, so your story might really help others feel less alone.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts π¬
