Who Loves The Sun?

A phenomenon occurred during my pregnancy.  I could no longer tolerate sunshine on my skin.  It felt like my skin was on fire and my skin would stay flushed for hours following exposure, even from just a few minutes.  I used to call it devil face it would get so red.  In addition to that if I had to do anything while in the sun it would immediately make me short of breath and fatigued.  Even on the coldest winter days I would have to shield my face.

Now 6 months postpartum I no longer feel like my face is on fire, but I also don't want to be in the sun.  I still get flushed and overheated.  For this reason, I don't like being outside unless it is overcast, I now look forward to rainy days, and I can't wait for fall/winter.

But it's not just me, my baby can't tolerate the heat either.  And she is just now the recommended age for using sunscreen.  But when she's in the heat she gets hot, sweaty, flushed, uncomfortable, over-tired, and fussy.

This really sucks because I spent all those months being house bound from pregnancy and now I am still from the sun and heat.  I know it would be good for both of us to get out of the house more, but we can't.  I can't imagine what people do (or did) without air conditioning.  I am desperate to move to a more hospitable climate.  England sounds really good to me.
