Summer and MS symptoms

[debral09]

HI!  I was diagnosed with MS 2yrs ago and so far have been dealing with it fine.  I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last Dec.  I have been off of my meds since early last year.  I recently had an MRI done and it showed more lesions on my brain.  My DR said I need to get back on my meds right away but we moved to AZ and I have yet to find a new DR.  But my question is with living in AZ and the temps already in th 90's-100's I need to know what symptoms I should be on the look out for.  I am sure that I have had some symptoms but don't know if they are related to MS or the other medical issues that I have.  If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks and wishes of wellness to you all.

Hey it took me a few minutes to find it but it is at the very bottom of the page.  It is titled "Anatomy of Flareups & Comments about Heat & MS.  Hope this helps.

Thank you Heather3418.  I found the section on heat and symptoms.  I have not really had any of the ones listed just fatigue.  I have found that my legs get that "asleep" tingly feeling when I am putting my baby daughter down for the night.  I also have the same feelings in both of my arms, in fact they kind of feel that way now.  I know I need to get to a new dr but have been lazy about it.  I just really don't want to start sticking myself with the needle again.  I am afraid of how I am going to feel with the copaxon, the shots and dealing with my baby.  But I also know that I have to do it to keep healthy for her if not for myself!

May I direct you to a section in the upper right hand side to "Health Pages."  Click on that tab and go to the FIRST subject under that section.  It talks about Heat and MS.  It may be of some help to you.  If not, please come back to the Forum and tell me, so we can try to answer your questions in another way that gives you more information, that you need.
