Sunny sadness - heat intolerance

Today im just sad. Sad because its an effect of being to warm. To be highly heat intolerant I get sudden overwhelming reactions like sadness. The brain is SO.WEIRD. Also being confined inside, and not being able to function well outside, certainly puts a damper on things. So, enough about me. How...

A random thought about heat intolerance

Just trying to find out experiences of going through a relapse and noting an increased sensitivity to heat (from environmental factors, exercise etc). Been wondering for a while now if there's a link between active ongoing disease activity/or perhaps a confirmed relapse and increased heat sensiti...

Anyone get diagnosed years after being told it’s not MS?

To begin, I had a craniotomy in 2014 to remove a benign brain tumor from the left frontal lobe that was causing vision loss, the worst migraines I’ve ever had, and many other issues. Since 2020, I’ve noticed random nerve pain in other places on my body outside of my head. Random hot spots that feel ...

Hello all! I’m seeking out some good vacation spots for someone with heat intolerance and mobility issues (I use a wheel chair for longer distances). Have you gone anywhere (in the world) that you really enjoyed? I’d love to hear about it! 😃
