I actually feel better in the warm weather....I think what bothers me the most is very humid and rainy days. As for the banding ..Lyrica has provided some help...but for the most part nothing has changed ...the banding in my right thigh and right side is always there...sometimes a little better sometimes a little worse...usually due to the weather.

With hot weather coming, do any of you have a problem with all of a sudden being really hot? I know some of you had a problem with the cold last winter, but does your body change in summer and you get hit with being hot instead of cold? I really have a problem with heat - especially with humidity. I get hot, then weak. Not good. 2. Several of you have mentioned the tight "band" around your body. I am not sure this band is in the same place for everyone. Also, has there been any change in the band with those of you who have had TM for a long time?
