Here's the conclusion I've come to, regarding heat intolerance and other uncomfortable and miserable symptoms. The longer I've had MS the worse it gets. For example: 5 years ago, I could go outside and the heat would bother me at times. But only a minor annoyance. Now, I literally get ill and dizzy and weak. MS is progressive. On a more pleasant note... the longer you have it, and deal with heat intolerance plus other symptoms, the more knowledgeable you become,. And with age you become wiser and find more ways to combat and work through this disease.☺️

Cold showers? I haven't been brave enough to try them, in theory that should work.

I guess my M.S. is like the pendulum as well. I tend to stiffen up when I'm cold. I actually love the heat! However, it doesn't always love me. I have found that it 🥵 has been a wonderful cure-all for my occasional insomnia.

I live within a 15 minutes drive away from the beach 🏖️. I keep zip-up hoodies and throw blankets (of various weights,) along with fans conveniently stored throughout my home. I open the doors and windows to allow cooling cross ventilation in the morning, and close them mid-day to prevent overheating the home. I believe once one discovers their own personal transitional timeline window, surviving the annual ☁️ 🌧️ 🌡️ changes happening will be more tolerable.

I saw that, for the States anyway, maybe Northern Hemisphere if you've got it too. You prefer the heat? so do I, I have done an about face to try get used to preferring cold, I don't, my body does. The ski fields have opened here in NZ, no I am not going, I am still allergic to snow I'm sure.

I'm a sissy, I put the heater on in the evenings 😊. I keep it cold in the house during the day, 14*C, at the moment, it does make life/movement easier.
