The weather is now on the change & I’m absolutely dreading it! I’ve been affected by the heat of the summer this year but easily cooled down when I went indoors so it wasn’t too much of a problem. The winter & cold weather is very different though, as I really struggle keeping my body temperature up, even indoors when the heating is on I struggle to keep warm & can feel quite ill. My hands, feet & lips go a lovely shade of blue/mauve colour & feel really cold to touch. I’ve had various tests for other conditions but the drs have come to the conclusion it’s a symptom of the MS. Does anyone else have these sort of symptoms? I like to go out & ‘walk’ the dog using my scooter & have got a powered wheelchair to go out shopping but although I wear water proof jacket & trousers both the scooter & wheelchair gets wet & uncomfortable. I can’t afford to get a canopy for the scooter but have been looking at a Simplantex Lined Scooter coat which I thought I could put lots of layers on under - has anyone got one of these & if so would it be good for both my scooter & wheelchair? If anyone has any suggestions how to keep warm when outdoors in the cold/rain etc I’d appreciate your advice.
Many thanks
