I’ve mentioned a lot about warmer temperatures; for those of us with MS, you can take everything said here and apply it to cold temperatures as well! Any strong variance in temperature, up or down, can be debilitating.
These problems I have with temperatures can be frustrating and isolating. I’m at a point where I normally need to be in a nice air conditioned room when it’s hot, or even slightly warm, out. That can be rough when it’s summertime and I want to get out and enjoy the day.
Even though I know warm (or cold) temperatures can be a problem, there are times I still try to grit it out and deal so I can feel included, or just be able to accomplish somethings that I need to do. That can end up being rough on me and my dear daughter.
I’ve been at this a while (some days it feels like forever), and there are times I want to just push through, knowing I may not function well for a bit in order to "do normal". I know I can get cool and recover. Sometimes though, I overdo, and the recovery can be long and difficult . I have to "choose my battles" very wisely, plan ahead, and listen to the signals my body gives me.
