Abby, My symptoms get much worse in the summer. I relate it to the heat. I have pretty mild symptoms most of the time, and have had them for quite a few years and never bothered to do anything about it. Then last summer it got hot and humid and my symptoms worsened to the point of being scary. I finally saw a neurologist. I have good weeks and day, and bad weeks and days, but I have noticed this month the symptoms are much worse again.
