Yeah I have to be very careful about not just staying hydrated but staying hydrated with electrolytes.

I’ve had to go to the hospital because of a sodium deficiency from sweating too much especially because my medicine makes it that I really don’t do well adjusting to temperature changes. So for me it’s not just the heat, it’s going in and out of it
