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...
