MS is supposed to be worse with heat- does anyone experience the exact opposite ? I seem to do better in the warmer months and significantly worse in the colder/winter months as far as symptoms appearing.

Heat = fatigue
Cold = severe stiffness
Both suck

Even mildly cool temps turn my feet and lower legs into painful blocks of ice. I'd much rather be too hot than too cold ! I keep an electric blanket on the sofa and stay wrapped up in it all winter.

Either weather extreme bothers me: too hot or too cold. :-)

I agree with Sile. It's extremes that bother me. Choosing between the two extremes, heat is much worse, though

Last year I slept with the AC on in the winter. Now I'm planning on moving a south. Ever since my treatment all of a sudden I feel the cold again. Even the dairy isle at the supermarket is chilly.
