It was mid-September, perfect weather--except no, there was a little heat wave. I was at the mall when I realized that I was having a real problem navigating, bumping into things, "wall-walking" in the stores, rubbery legs, brain soup.
That was the point where I knew, no, it's not just stress. There's something WRONG with me. I didn't know then that heat sensitivity was a common MS problem. I just knew that the hot weather was triggering problems that weren't normal.

The very same thing happened to me, while attending a Sept. Fair. I already knew that the heat bothered me/my MS a lot, but, until that day, I didn't realize how much and to the horrible extent it would go. With the help of friends, I made it to my DH and car waiting, with A/C running. NeVeR did that again.
