Multiple sclerosis and heat are not a great combination. Some MSers report heat affecting their multiple sclerosis, often with exacerbated symptoms in hot and humid conditions. Others, paradoxically, have similar issues with cold weather. It just goes to show that no two MSers are the same.Share your experiences and discuss ways to manage different temperature conditions with MSers from all around the world.
