Title: This is going to sound completely backward, but

When I exercise alot, I get better. We are all different, and I know this does not work for most people here, but the rashes stop and my reactions are less severe when I do this. (This did not work for me when I had a full blown masto rash though.)

There are some exercises that make me worse, like if there is alot of compression it can trigger a migraine. I don't run. Pushing to go really hard can cause a reaction, but this summer I rode my bike over 2,000 miles. Sometimes I rode up to 80 miles in a day. And the heat does not hurt me. The more I sweat the better. I am doing hot yoga since it is winter. Hot yoga is between 1 and 1.5 hours in a studio that is +100 degrees. Yoga is the most boring excersize IMO. Biking is the most fun. (Got the epi just in case.)

I am usually the first person in the room to feel cold. In the winter, I really bundle up. In the summer, I don't really get too hot like everyone else.

You're really lucky! I have a lot of trouble with heat, but mainly when I'm flaring.

Exercise does make me feel better. For me, I think it's being out in nature and lowering the stress level that helps the most.
