Coping with the heat [View all]

I am extremely heat sensitive and it's really hard to get through the summer. I have central a/c, curtains drawn, drinking lots of water, and I still feel awful. I have fibromyalgia and blood marker for lupus, not to mention perimenopause. How are you dealing with the heat? I get so tired of complaining but I'm miserable!
I live in SoCal, btw..
