RE: [TMIC] Hot Weather TM
Me too. I'll take heat over cold, any day - except for ice! I have a very tough time walking on dry ground (even with cane). However, too much heat is also hard for me. Here on Long Island we are just coming out of a heat wave - - the humidity was brutal!

Re: [TMIC] Hot Weather TM
Yes, me too. The warmth is great. Muscles and joints don't cease up so easily as in the winter time. We have just had a heat wave here too although we do not get the humidity. We do not have nor do we want air conditioning. It cools off most nights here and it seems that the way our home is situated we get a breeze in the night that comes in our south side of the house and cools things off. We close off all the windows on the southside of the house during the day. This seems to work for us. Winter is for snuggling up to the fireplace.

Re: [TMIC] Hot Weather TM
Hi Krissy, The cold doesn't bother me as much! I can function, at least. But of course it doesn't usually get below 35 degrees where I live. According to the article, whether hot or cold, sounds as if our internal thermostats have gone wacky. Mary W Auburn Ca
Re: [TMIC] Hot Weather TM
I have trouble with both the heat and the cold. I was one who was usually hotter than most people anyway, but TM accentuated that. I can hardly go to Wal-Mart or the mall without getting hot and sweaty, and then my energy is just zapped. I usually have to have one or both feet sticking out from under the covers at night. But in the cold, I do get stiffer. So I try to stay inbetween. Oddly enough, my left arm, which is where the TM symptoms first began, will get uncomfortably cold when the rest of me is fine. Sometimes when I watch TV I have to have a pillow or throw blanket on that arm. Barbara H.
Re: [TMIC] Hot Weather TM
I'm just the opposite, I find the cold easier to deal with. I can put blankets and hat on to warm up but in this hot weather I have a difficult time cooling down.
