Erin,

I just received this information from a fellow MSer that you may find beneficial. The Steele Vest I have was paid for by a local MS foundation through the University of Missouri (we also have monthly support meetings). You may want to contact the University of Nebraska to inquire if they have a MS foundation available too.

ARE YOU HEAT-SENSITIVE?
Many people with MS experience weakness, fatigue, visual disturbances, and other symptoms when they become overheated. The MSF Cooling Program offers a variety of items, free of charge, including cooling vests and accessories, to help with heat-sensitivity. Applications are accepted through June 1st. Send applications to: The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, 6350 North Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309. Applications can also be submitted online at http://msfocus.org/programs_coolapp.php. Additional applications can be obtained by calling: 1-888-MSFOCUS (673-6287).

Hope this is a help for you. I know how the midwest heat and humidity can play havoc on us.
