troubling symptom.
spring often comes the ugly reality of heat intolerance for those with MS. The
MSF Cooling Program provides special cooling garments to help handle this
troubling symptom.
As body temperature
rises, weakness, fatigue, visual disturbances, and other symptoms can become
aggravated and temporarily worsen. Without help, the hot months can trap those
with MS indoors, keeping them from countless activities associated with the
season, like gardening, fishing, family outings, barbeques, and baseball games,
but also making simple everyday needs, like going to work or grocery shopping,
a challenge. So the MSF provides the necessary help to qualifying people
through the Cooling Program.
