Bernie......You may find this strange but I’m just the opposite. When I get to cold my pain level goes up. In the summer I will go out on the back porch for the warmth and sunshine. We keep our home at about 76 or 77. In the winter even with the central heating I have a small portable heater in the bathroom because I get to cold in the shower. This TM thing is a strange affliction. Please call me this winter when you order up the snow. Maybe I can have time to go further south somewhere. LOL!.............Cody in Austin

I live in Texas and literally have to stay indoors all summer, only venturing out in the late evening if it is cool enough. Mine is because my body cannot regulate temperature, and I cannot sweat at all because of the damage to the spinal cord. Even when I go out at night after it has dropped down to 70, I sometimes still have problems. And it does wreak havoc with my spasticity, especially at night. The one relief I've found is to keep my apartment at about 66 degrees during the night, it helps keep the number of spasms down for some reason. Hope things get better for you... Peace, Bernie in HOT Texas (where for the next 3 months it will average about 105 to 110 degrees at peak heat in the afternoon)
