Here we go again, this heat is killing me, it always does, heat and cold, everything to do with my symptoms has changed and not for the better, I feel so fatigued, pain through the roof, walking and balance, well I don’t do it anymore, life is SH**E, how does it effect you ?
Hi Jean
Like you makes no difference whether it’s extreme heat or cold, both makes my ms worse with awful fatigue and pain, so I empathize with you.
Make sure you take plenty of fluid on board Jean and hopefully it will cool down shortly

Hi Pam, ah sorry you’re the same, it’s a right pain isn’t it. I always drink plenty of water and I have an osilating fan going to try and cool me down. for us I really hope it cools down, take care.
Jean
Feeling exactly the same and so frustrated.
ah so sorry
It’s way too hot this early in the summer. Nights are warm too. My legs stopped working today I rolled into the house,took about 1 hour to 10ft. Heat just destroys me. Hope it passes soon too

I hate the summer
I love the winter
Thankfully we’re nearly in September
Roll on autumn/winter is what I say (every summer I say this)
Yes this recent hot spell has got me again I don’t mind autumn, but winter effects me too, sometimes to cold, can’t win.

Hello. A late reply but yes heat is a killer . I haven’t tried them but I think you can buy cooling vests and hats . Basically things that have lots of small pockets for small ice packs. Apart from that if things get too bad - wet your clothes with water and sit in front of the fan or in a breeze ( but out of the sun). It does work
Hi Hank Dogs, thanks for your reply, yes for the heat I use cold pads and a cold blanket straight for the fridge, also I have a big fan, they just take the edge off, for the cold I use heat blankets, but not too hot and I also use throws, honestly the things we have to do,
Jean
Indeed! And I could metaphorically throttle the weather presenters every time they announce with a big cheery smile that it’s going to be hot and sunny
