I’ve heard so many people say how terrible the heat is for people with MS. This has caused me to just avoid heat completely. That being said, I don’t really know what would happen to me if I did go out in the heat. I really would like to get out and do some yardwork or maybe an outdoor activity or two. What would my consequences be if I did? Does the heat just make you feel like crap, or does it make certain things worse? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 😊

The summer is rough. They sell cooling towels and hats that you just wet with cold water to cool you down. They do help. I ordered them online but saw them cheaper in those Ocean State/ big lot store. Online the companies are Mission and Frogg Toggs. Watch the humidity levels. I found myself not doing many things now but its all trial and error now and not being afraid to tell your and other "I can't". That's been the hardest part, self acceptance. Good luck and try to enjoy.
It effects My old MS Symptoms such as Blurry Vision, trouble walking as well as gives Me Cognitive problems.
The heat makes me feel extra awful! And my symptoms get very intensified!
I guess you need to see what happens! I try to only do yard work in the early AM or evenings. I guess when I water my plants time! No sense in watering mid day in the heat, so I feel the same about being in the heat.
heat and humidity are MS enemies and I am an August baby. now I have to readjust the times of day I go out due too MS
