Sensitivity to heat can disrupt the quality of life for people living with MS.

Here’s how to keep your cool. Heat intolerance is a common issue for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Not only are they in general more sensitive to heat, but heat can also make their MS symptoms considerably worse. MS-related heat intolerance occurs because the myelin protective covering around the nerves in the brain is damaged and doesn’t function properly when the body is overheated, says Jack Burks, MD, chief medical officer of the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America.

“The nerve impulses cannot travel efficiently, and fatigue sets in,” Dr. Burks explains. “The dangers of heat intolerance might include a temporary decrease in balance, strength, feeling, or vision, which could lead to falls and other problems,” he says. The best way to avoid a temporary increase in MS symptoms related to heat intolerance is to avoid overheating in the first place.

because my legs have difficulty moving,” she says.

“Ice is one of my favorite ways to cool down — it can be used in so many ways. On the inside of the wrist is nice, or on the back of the neck, your forehead, or the middle of the chest. If it’s a large ice pack, I like to hold it on the front of my body and try to cool off quickly.”
