On a serious note, drink lots of water, and if you still feel like it after a few days, go see the doc Get well soon!

Heat exhaustion. You got some good advice. I'm sensitive to it too. Get to a cool place. Soak your head with water. I've found that cooling my head first off really helps considerably. Not ice cold, but tap temperature. If you've got a hat or bandanna dousing that with water after you've wet your head can help, too. Drink more water to combat the sweating. I don't really sweat that much, but I get extremely sticky. Touch your pressure points on your wrists and legs if possible with cool water. And drink water. Gatorade is also helpful because it replaces electrolytes, too, but I'd start with water if you're nauseaus. Sometimes having a little extra salt in your diet can help, too. When my husband was in the Navy and over in the Indian Ocean and working in 130 F. engine room they gave out salt pills to the sailors to help.
Make sure you're wearing sunblock of some sort, too. And eat lightly throughout the day to keep you from getting sick.

Heat exhaustion is very serious. In the army they preach about it all the time, drinking water and what not. My guess is you are probably drinking soda most of the time...and that is just the wrong answer. When you go to take a piss, if its like a dark yellow color...thats not good. You need to drink more water.

Just make sure you're getting enough water and potassium. Bananas and potatoes have it. Or, like I said, Gatorade. And if you get Gatorade get the powder and mix it yourself. It's a lot cheaper. Walmart seems to be the cheapest place to get it around here. I mix up a couple bottles and throw one in the freezer for awhile sometimes. It's pretty good half frozen.

Gatorade definitly. I think lemon juice helps sometimes? im not sure, that might be one of my Central American Indigenous remedy that only makes it worse.

Do you have long hair?

That's a darn good question, too.

i still say hes just a fvcking vampire.

Tell me, the_bleeding, did you feel a prick the last time your girlfriend kissed your neck

No, you weren't there!!!!!!! bahahahaha

hehehe i wish... last time she kissed my neck it did leave a mark though she looks like a vampire, but says I'm a vampire...

and yeah i have long hair... the front is almost long enough to eat... what bugs me is all my friends that were there have hair as long as or longer than mine, and they're all chem-heads... and they seem to be able to take the heat. WHAT THE FUCK.

Don't worry about your buddies. You worry about you. If they're all wired or tweaking their bodies aren't going to react to stimuli normally anyways. I've got super long hair and in the summer or if I'm working in a hot area I tie it back and usually braid it. It's past my waist though. At least pull it back before you start feeling too light-headed. I don't know if you drink or not, but alcohol as well as coffee will dehydrate you so compensate for that with water, too.

im perpetually dehyrdated.i dont drink when im at the gym, i dont drink when its hot, all i have in the morning is a cup of coffee and all i have at lunch is a small bottle of juice of some kind. its really bad, i always have headaches. i really cant get into the habit of drinking though

The brain starts getting dehydrated and that's why all the symptoms start happening. Your friends are liable to wind up in really bad shape. Think about how you've seen people in the movies in the desert that hallucinate and stuff like that. It's from lack of water.

On the "health" topic:

I'm getting some pretty painful shin splints as I've been running every day for the past few weeks. I got some new running shoes but came to no avail, and running on a softer surface than concrete really isn't an option. Anyone have any "tricks" to help this problem?

Believe it or not every so often I like a glass of Lemon juice with a tiny bit of salt in it and sip on it. No dilution...it's very tasty.

That sounds painful to drink

Do you have access to an elliptical trainer or a pool? They're both supposed to be easier on the knees and other joints.
