How do you recover from being in the sun too long? I sat out in the 102 degree Southern heat for 4-5 hours this afternoon, and my poor body is certainly feeling it. Headache, joints hurting, weakness and fatigue, muscle cramps, itching, other Herx symptoms. Combined that with increasing the Byron White this morning.

What do I need to do to make sure I can function again by tomorrow night or at latest Monday morning? I know the obvious ones like increasing water. Anything else that my brain can't think of right now? Thanks in advance.

Here. I did some research at 3:30 am when I woke up sweating my face off. Haha. Evidently, detox is still the name of the game. I also took some Burbor and Pinnella when I woke up at 3:30. We'll see how bad I feel tomorrow--well, in a few hours.

Excellent!!!

This is why we say DETOX so very frequently on this forum. You HAVE TO get the toxins out, it is imperative to healing.

Detoxing is not just something that we "think" will help. It is something we know will help and has been proven.

So sorry you learned a lesson about heat. I learned mine from a hot shower. If you can stay in a cool place today, it should help. Even try the cool shower.

Feel better soon.

I hope you are feeling better by now!! The heat kills off more bacteria, so detoxing would be the thing you need to do. The problem is that you won't necessarily feel better overnight. I would encourage you to use a binder should this happen again though, as they are the best for reducing herxing quickly.

That number 1 option sounds great, but so expensive. I'll have to wait on that one. I have to buy my new stuff little at a time. Haha.

I wish I had a bathtub as well. The Epsom salt bath sounds glorious, but I will just have to do a foot soak. I only have a shower. Sad face.

I'm going to keep pushing the burbor and pinnella today and stay inside. We'll see what happens. I have so many things that need to get done today, but I guess I'll have to do them in spurts.

While I wasn't in the sun, but rather my homemade sauna, I feel this is relevant.

I had not been in it for a week or so, because I've had more things than usual going on this past week (not good, I know), right?

Had a good session, sweated a ton, etc.

The next day, I woke up with somewhat of a sore, scratchy throat, and green, brown mucus with a little blood in it. The soreness in my throat felt almost as though it had literally been cut or scratched by something, explaining the blood.

Though, I had not eaten anything that could have done anything like that before bed/breakfast, no medicines, etc. Nothing that could have torn my throat up. If I am not eating a liquid meal, then I chew my food up until it's mush, because of my GI stuffs.

That said, I do not know what else to attribute it to, apart from the sauna connection.

I think it killed/stirred some stuff up.

edit: The fix? Detox, yeah.
