Maybe this is old news but for me it helps to see measured data. This is all so new I keep trying to convince myself it must be partly imagination. I guess not.

I found this in The Lancet, Temperature and Weather Correlates of Myasthenic Fatigue. I was able to get the full article from the college library. Here's a few tidbits:
  • A 5 deg C increase in temp caused RNS testing to go from normal results to a 44% drop
  • "Changes by only 2 degrees C influence neuromuscular transmission to a significant extent"

I'm really astounded at the impact of temperature. In fact I'm learning that being just a little colder than what I usually consider comfortable is a huge help.
