Ok, bare with me before you call the nice young men in their clean white coats....

Im exhausted, but feel like everything i can think of doing photography wise... I need to do it.

The only issue is the heat is inflating the fatigue parachute I've attatched.

Not crazy at all! That burst of motivation is real and worth celebrating — especially when creativity strikes.

Not crazy at all! That burst of motivation is real and worth celebrating — especially when creativity strikes. The tricky part with MS is that heat can slow down nerve signals in the body, which is why fatigue tends to crash the party right when inspiration shows up. The good news is there are ways to chase that photography inspiration without letting the heat win. Here are some strategies to try:

- Layer up smartly — wear light, breathable fabrics with good airflow (avoid nylon or tight-fitting clothes)
- Time your shoots — early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler are ideal
- Cool down between shots — step into air conditioning regularly to reset your body temperature
- Wear a cooling vest — these can help keep your core temperature down outdoors
- Stay hydrated — ice-cold water while you're out can make a real difference
- Take frequent breaks — don't push through fatigue, it tends to make things significantly worse

One MyMSTeam member shared a helpful self-check habit: if feeling off, run through a checklist — too hot? Cool down. Too tired? Rest. If fixing it helps, keep going. If not, it's time to head home. The creative spark is worth protecting — just pace yourself so the fatigue parachute doesn't fully deploy before you get the shot! 📸

@A MyMSTeam Member I too prefer warmer weather and find the cold to be painful! Our highs today are projected to hit 108 which, even for me, will be brutal! Our very old HVAC is still hanging on, thankfully...

@A MyMSTeam Member i do prefer the summer as the main symptoms are exhation, fatigue and like lots and lots of tiredness. Being affected by both (as most are) the cold causes more stress and symptoms. I do love the colours in autumn (can't comfortably use fall, words hey)

@A MyMSTeam Member im sorry dear x not trying to rub it in... I'm sure ill crash hard soon
