I was on a group tour with a lady who we later learned has MS. Due to hot weather, she had at least TWO seizures in front of multiple witnesses, got over them and denied having any problem other than “I don’t do well in hot weather.” Ya think?!
She claimed to have had a negative seizure work-up and thus continues to drive. Hope her A/C never goes out on the road!
People, we have known, got a diagnosis of MS after a trip to Hawaii or Floriduh during their a hot time there. A couple ended up in ER’s with heat exhaustion.
The youngest MS patient we know, during a hot day stopped by his parents to take a swim. The pool water was hot and he had a hard time getting from the deep end after diving in.
He said his body just stopped working like Hill’s did. One of his relatives was a good FP, and he got the young man’s parents to go to neurologist. Before the MRI, the neurologist told parents and MD relative the young man had MS.
The MRI documented it.
Others had severe problems after being in a hot tub or sauna.
The person with seizures, you commented about, is being a criminal. One of our friends had a stroke in April, and her driver’s license was suspended before she got out of the hospital.
