MS Post 4 – temperature sensitivity

temperature sensitivity
MS Post 4
March is MS awareness month and I found this article in the attached link interesting and prompted me to make this post. There are many symptoms and problems that go with MS but have found temperature sensitivity has just gotten worse as time goes on. I have the thermostat set at 73 and in the morning am comfortable. Afternoon I'm cold until around 7 o'clock at night. Then I get very warm. I find this very annoying. Over the last few years I have become very sensitive to heat. I try to stay out of the sun in the summer and am more or less restricted to the air-conditioning when he gets above 80°. This is turned me into a real homebody.
I used to get warm all the time and look forward to going out in the cold. I used to spasm a lot more by them now on a anti-spasm medication. I have found that I'm cold a lot more than I used to be. I suppose the muscle activity during the spasms get me a warm and overheated a lot. It's very frustrating because even one degrees difference on the thermostat can make a huge difference to me. I feel like such a pansy. 30 years ago we went about 11 years without an air conditioner and just  used ceiling fans. Now I am dependent on air-conditioning.
Oh well, MS is what it is and I just have to learn to deal with it. Only problem is my wife has to deal with it to. Some nights with the thermostat set the same as normal I still get overheated and have to wake her up to uncover me some. Then when I cool down I have to wake her up again to cover me back up. Very humbling to be dependent like this.
