Hi Janice I get very hot when it is only in the 70 or 80's for no reason I can just be on the computer or watching TV and I will get real hot so much that I sweat a lot..(I soak my blouse) but I only sweat on my face neck and breasts .my lesion is at nipple level T4 my banding is where my bra snaps...so it feels like my bra is way to tight. In the cold weather I get more spastic and tight it hurts to bend knees and ankles. I still have the banding in winter too...and if my husband puts the furnace up to high I will over heat...I love to go out in the snow with just what I have on and bear foot and watch all the steam come off me..its a riot .. Debi TM spastic paraplegic T4 incomplete South Lake Tahoe Ca. From: Janice Date: 6/11/2009 6:41:35 PM To: transverse myelitis Subject: [TMIC] This is Janice, I have 2 questions: 1. 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?
