Members pushed back on the AI-suggested 80-degree threshold for heat avoidance, with the clear consensus being that heat tolerance with myasthenia gravis varies greatly from person to person. Several members shared that humidity plays a bigger role than temperature alone, with some struggling at 70 degrees in high humidity while others manage fine at 85 degrees in dry conditions, and practical tips included staying hydrated, using electrolytes like Pedialyte, wearing hats, and limiting outdoor time. A recurring theme was the importance of listening to your own body, staying in air conditioning on extreme days, and celebrating small wins like getting out for lunch despite fears and fatigue.

I don't know where AI gets his answers but for me 70 with high humidity does it , it can be 80 and low humidity and I'm fine, you have to listen to your own body , it will let you know❤

An AI answer said 80 degrees is the threshold to start staying inside. Is this true?
