My wife has relapsing/remitting MS. We moved here from upstate New York. We were fully aware that heat is known to cause exacerbations of MS. However, in her case, the exact opposite happened. Her MS, with weekly injections of Avonex, has been almost a non issue for the past six years. On extremely hot days (one or two a year) she simply stays inside the air conditioning. Otherwise, the sun has been a blessing.
Since we moved here, her MRI lesions have dropped from hundreds to almost none. IN NY there were serious episodes about every two years (even with avonex). In six years here, there has not been one.
Another friend of ours from NY had a mother with MS. The same thing happened to her when she moved from NY to Florida.
Some, so called medical experts have tried to convince us otherwise, but they are full of prunes. This is our case and we know our results.
