MS is annoyingly sensitive to both hot and cold (bloody Goldilocks of a disease), The MS Trust has v. Good resources on this amongst other things. There's so many factors, I'd be hard pressed to give you meaningful tips. But the first winter after diagnosis is the worst, for sure. Hugs and support 💕🤗
I do find that I am super sensitive to cool and cold air. SO, at least for me, every summer I am pretty much in heaven as long as the temp is 72 degrees or above. I don’t have problems with heat. However, every October when the nights become cooler, and my house is cooler and dryer air, I get icy cold burning on the surface of my arms and legs…pretty much everywhere. The only things that warm me is crawling back in bed, or going to exercise at the natatorium. It is a struggle. Then, when I wake up from a mid afternoon nap, my legs under the covers are burning HOT and achy. So, yes, temperature plays a big role in my life. If I have to sit in a cool/cold air conditioned room for more than 5 minutes, I’m just in agony from it and my skin becomes literally ice cold to the touch for hours. I hope you find something to give you relief!
