My MS is extremely sensitive to hot weather, heat causes me paralysis so I must be very careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hi, I am heat sensitive. This summer I discovered "cooling vests" and purchased one. It makes a BIG difference to wear one in the heat and humidity. You should look into using one. I got mine at www.polarsoftice.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Françoise, my symptoms are always worse when it's warmer and more humid. It's been a rough summer, because of the weather in New York. I recently went back and did some reading about the affects of heat-- information I had forgotten. I don't think it has anything to do with LDN. 1. Because of the demylinezation (spelling?), many of our nerve fibers are " in a state of borderline function, which suddenly turn off when the body temperature is elevated only one or two degrees. " 2. " What is seen on simple inspection represents only a small part of the overall difficulty the individual may experience under usual working conditions or even routine daily activities. " 3. This sensitivity to temperatures also can reflect the body's normal daily temperature cycle, which varies about one degree F. It is lowest about 2 - 3 am and highest in the afternoon. This fatigue combined with that from physical exertion and daily activities can result in a person's feeling especially weak and fatigued between 3 and 6 pm.
