Day 107

Less than 9 days, Santa's getting ready
News about MS -
A recent study has linked increases in outdoor temperature and increases in symptoms in those that live with MS.

Heat has long been linked to worsening symptoms in those that suffer from inflammatory diseases, however a link has yet to be determined.

I have seen this first hand with my mom.  After she was in NY for my wedding 2 years ago, she suffered a very severe flair.  This has not happened since she returned to Ireland where the temperatures are much more mild.

For more information on this study please read - http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_142303.html

  1. Yes, the heat does take its toll on me....but there are other MS sufferers who live in hot climates that seem to deal with it better than those of us who don't.

    So the big question is why?

    Right now I'm very much enjoying living in Ireland because of its moderate climate, it works for me and it works for my MS.

    Keep going with your Challenge, Joe and maybe we'll get an answer to this question along with the million other question we have about this disease.
