Sunday Conversations July 2026
Temperature Management Challenges
Sunday, July 19, 2026
4:00pm ET on Zoom
It’s hot out there! But managing temperature is a daily challenge all year long for many with ME/CFS, Long COVID, and dysautonomias. A dysregulated autonomic nervous system can cause two common symptoms. Thermostatic instability brings fluctuations of body temperature throughout the day, or unstable internal weather. Heat and cold sensitivities bring an inability to adjust to fluctuations in external temperatures, or intolerance to external weather.
This month, please join us for a community conversation about practical methods for managing temperature, both internal and external. Bring your curiosity and your own experience, bring recommendations for methods and devices for managing the heat and the cold, or just bring your notepad to write down helpful tips from others. Let’s share our hard-earned weather wisdom.
Sunday Conversations is a free program and all are welcome!
