>I have heard anecdotal reports of MS patients moving from >cold/dry climes to warm/humid ones with remarkable improvement. >Specifically moving from Northeast to Southern Florida. >Is there any mechanism to explain this if true? I would be VERY surprised at this. Heat is a problem for MS patients. My mother is pretty mobile in the winter, but can't get around at all if it is above 80 degrees. This is the usual pattern. The explaination is supposed to be that heat is not so good for nerves anyway, and adds to the problems of MS. Are you sure it's not the other way around? -- Sue Brezden ihnp4!drutx!slb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To search for perfection is all very well, But to look for heaven is to live here in hell. --Sting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
