Heat intolerance

Do people find the heat intolerance is associated with new lesions or not? Or is it just something that once you have MS heat intolerance affects you for life?

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...
