Overheating

I have noticed, Maggie doesn't necessarily sweat alot but just plain overheat. Two times this past couple weeks, she has overheated(which is wierd anyway cause it's not warm out). This first time, Sammy and Maggie were running back and forth in the house. THen I said it was time to stop, she was already getting hot and Sammy took something away from her and she threw an all out tantrum. Her body was on fire after. I had to take off her clothes and make her sit and drink 2 glasses of juice. It happened again last night, when we were at Sammy's school where the room was VERY hot with lots of people in it. Her cheeks were getting bright red, then my husband bought her a large water(like 16 oz), she drank it all but even when she went to bed, she had to sleep in a t-shirt cause she was having trouble cooling down. However she was NOT sweating. Maybe that's the problem; she doesn't sweat? Everyone else is our family sweats ALOT except for Maggie; anyone else notice this?

lots of CFers, before there was a definitive CF diagnosis, would pass due to overheating/heat exhaustion/dehydration/ low sodium levels.

we don't do well in the heat, that's for sure. it affects us pretty severely.

I bet the lack of sweat is a big part of the problem. I don't sweat either really. I get a tiny bit of sweat around my hair line, and sometimes down the middle of my back, but never enough to cool me down. I've passed out many times due to overheating. Jordan is the same way. He does sweat a little more than me, but he does not do well in the heat either.

My son does the same thing. He doesn't sweat, but he gets VERY red. I remember a few years ago we went to Disney World in August (not a good time to go) and my son was beet red - a little old lady came up and scolded me for not putting sunscreen on him (I had slathered him down with it at least four times that day so far). This was before we knew he had CF, but I knew something was going on because he should have been sweating like crazy. We spent a lot of time in the swimming pools that trip.
