Thanks for the suggestions Raindrop! I live in a condo with an airconditioner on the roof. I know it's up there because you can see the little dot on the roof on Google earth. It's my air conditioner but I can't put anything on the roof per condo rules. One of the biggest businesses in Fl is air conditioner maintenance. They come fairly quickly and I've only need them once in three years. My wife and her friends do all of the outdoor chores and shopping. I'm bed bound with a few bulging discs and a compressed vertebrae. I've also had some minor strokes back in the 90's post anesthesia. I'll do anything necessary to keep from overheating. The feeling of sickness, weakness, and mind numbingness that I experience in the heat are as I mentioned not believed by healthy people. You're the first person in 13 years I've met that can relate to how bad I feel. Do exactly what you must to feel well and don't worry about what other say or think. It's not worth it. We're shunned by the healthy and not understood by the medical community. It's such a relief to know that I'm not the only one like this. Not that I would ever wish this on my worst enemy and I wish that there was a cure, not just treatment but a cure for this hellish disorder.

Oh, my....You might also try to get a PORTABLE AC UNIT (just a hose goes from a mount on the window. It's easy
and it's portable. Worth any price at ALL!! Today is the first day cooler where I live in 2 weeks, but I still can't get
out bc I didn't sleep all night (another horrid problem). It makes me feel very good that you finally met someone in me that CAN finally understand how bad it is for you - the heat. I often feel like I can do very little in this world for anyone being this ill. At least I have given you validation for what is very very REAL. Don't mind anyone else - use 7 fans like I do and one with a spray mister on it (cost $10 at Bed B and B) WITH a fan - hand held.Get ALL the Props that you need. That is how I survive. Fall is coming soon!
