I seem to have developed these last few months a temperature balance problems, in that I've began to sweat, clothes drenching, hair soaked running down my face sweat. Yes I'm female, yes I've gone through all the female stuff. This ain't that! It's so weird. I've seen some documentation on temperature regulation issues with MS patients and I wonder if anyone else has this issue

@A MyMSTeam Member you could get a window a/c unit for the bedroom or an interior unit. I think you "deserve" it to have a place where you are able to keep your core cool and do various activities in your own room!
I don't find my cooling vest helpful at all. It's so heavy and in FLaDuh the ice packs melt almost immediately. I find the cooling neck ties and my cooling hat better. These can be found online, in construction clothing stores, maybe Home Depot (I haven't looked). Cooling items can be gotten FREE in the spring from the MS Foundation.
IT HAPPENED to me but what scared me was when I could not get any air to my lungs at four am no help all alone in my room.
