I was reading this book “The MS Recovery Diet” and I came across one of the stories about different people who suffer from MS. One of the people that I felt I could associate with was named Carol. She said that she found that unlike many people who have MS are “heat-sensitive”, she was “cold-sensitive”. I suffer from this! AMAZING!!!! Finally I found someone who has this problem as I do. I hate it when the weather changes, from the wonderful summer time, warm weather, sunshiney days to the fall crisp nights and then on to winter that wonderful white stuff we see on the ground. Yech! My body is changing now. I am in pain all the time now especially at night. I feel like I have ice water running through my veins and my butt feels like I am sitting on 2 bags of ice. My left arm and hand is ice cold and very painful, I am hoping I will be able to sleep tonight.

Now I know that I am not nuts and that I am “cold-sensitive”. I react terribly to cold weather like some fellow MS people react to hot weather.  Hot summer days warm me up, I feel so much better like my body has completely thawed out! When I am hot, I just turn on the air conditioning and run ceiling fans and cover up when I need to and I am fine.  Interesting story, am so glad I found it because now I know that I am not alone in this.
