The MS not the medication. I am too warm in summer and too cold in winter. Try to get a happy medium :)

IDK I've spoke to several Dr.'s and they all told me...there are some days, could be everyday that heat will bother me. Laying in the Sun or just basic hot days, heat waves. But I've also been told every MS Patient is different. So Good for you if you have no issues with that:))

The cold is horrible for me. It makes me feel more symptom-y. My symptoms are sensory and in my lower half (i feel vibrations - like a cell phone on mute). With it being so cold here the past few days - I have really felt it. The heat doesn't bother me.

Well Thanks Everyone for the answers. I guess it's just something I have to get use to. Not that I'm a Big Drinker but just noticing a difference. But the cold is very much so affecting me. There are people worse off so I need to just "suck it up!" :))
