Members shared how their MS fatigue reacts differently to temperature, with some finding cold weather far more difficult, especially during sudden weather drops, while others struggle more in extreme heat and can become homebound. Several members described physical effects like stiff arms and legs in the cold, crying from heat exhaustion, and needing up to 30 minutes to adjust after transitioning between temperatures. A recurring theme was that both extremes can be debilitating, and members found comfort in humor, shared experiences, and small strategies like warming up the car first or soaking up gentle sunshine for vitamin D.

@A MyMSTeam Member I think maybe we have reptile blood. I've been day dreaming about basking under one of those heat lamps you see Iguanas under lol
70 degrees sounds heavenly

I think mine does I'm cold in the house. I can't wait until it warms up so I can sit on my deck in the sunshine I've done it a couple of times already this past couple weeks for a few minutes at a time in the late morning when it wasn't so cold to get vitamin from the Sun
