Heat effecting leisure time

Hi everyone I was diagnosed August 2016 last year.I went blind in my right eye spent 8 days in hospital when neurologist confirmed it was ms after mri scans 😦 aches pains dizziness fatigue even tho I'm very fit due to gym and sports...I can deal with all that but when I finally was feeling OK to take part in a match 2 mins into the game I couldn't see a thing and it keeps happening wen I came off I could see again wen I cooled down anybody on here that had similar experience and over came it and continues to play I'm desperate to keep playing the sport I love please help cheers 😆

@maurice , it's called Uhthoff's Phenomenon (https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/uhthoffs-phenomenon). As your core body temperature increases, so your symptoms play up. So, it's important to keep your body temperature stable. Now, that doesn't exactly fit with playing sports, but look into cooling vests and see if that is a feasible option.
