Everything affects my vampirism. I am not a fan of seasonal weather extremes on any level. The heat of summer is just as devastating to me as the cold of winter. Both cause me severe problems. Cold leaves me in physical pain to the point where it never goes away for months on end. I feel the cold and pain to the core of my very bones. Even my hair hurts. Heat on the other hand makes me ill-nauseous. The kind of ill where you have to slow down so it doesn't overwhelm you. I try to stay out of the heat as much as possible, but even with that I run a temperature and feel as if I am burning from the inside out.

I have problems with weather extremes of all sorts. Approaching storms cause me no end of misery. I get severe migraines that affect my whole body. I experience severe nausea, run a temperature, get blurred vision, sound sensitivity, a ringing in the ear, weak arm - shoulder - hand muscles and much more. After the storm arrives, I am so physically weak that I MUST find an energy source. I need to replenish my deleted energies just to keep from feeling weak and regain my balance.

This all causes havoc in regards to my taking energies. Over the years, I have learned that seasonal changes affect my energy levels and plan my time & major activities accordingly. Winters I am mostly under nourished energy wise. There is no way for me to overcome the cold I feel. I severely cut back on any strenuous activities and try not to spend time outdoors. I also cut back my creative activities (I am an artist by profession) because the reduced energy levels also severely affect my creative abilities. With reduced energy, I lack the clarity I need to create. Summers in the day, I try to stay indoors way from the heat. I enjoy good elemental energies in the mornings & evenings on my porch. This way it helps to balance my energies that are affected by the heat. Although the heat exhausts me, I can at least regain a little of my balance then seek out other energies. That way I only need to restrict my midday actives due to low energy from too much heat.
