Spring is upon us. The time of year when the days become longer and warm weather entices us to spend time outside. Unfortunately, not everyone can enjoy those long, hot summer days out of doors. Between 60% and 80% of people with MS find that heat can cause their symptoms to worsen. This might involve a build up of fatigue, blurred vision, loss of balance or a worsening of cognitive symptoms such as concentration or memory. Here are some links to some cooling products and programs that may assist you this upcoming summer.
