MS symptoms worse in the colder weather?

Does anyway experience worse MS symptoms during the colder days?

I’ve noticed that my balance and general mobility distinctly goes downhill when the temperature is a little nippier!

Absolutely! I hate it when the temperature drops even slightly, constant spasms in legs, foot drag worsens, balance goes, bladder worsens plus even BP rises :disappointed_face:

That’s reassuring. Glad I’m not the only one… didn’t know about BP rising - but it makes sense.

Not me, but it seems plenty of MSers do.

Yes I also suffer in both extremes, if I get too hot or too cold I can become tachycardic. A slight change in temperature causes excruciating facial/head pain. So I feel for anyone that suffers in the changes of weather.
I tend to wear thermals in the winter time and hats, gloves and a scarf. Layers of clothing helps.
