Every article I read about MG says how much worse the symptoms are in heat. They also use ice to test the relief of symptoms. But how does this work? Are the antibodies ineffective in cold temperatures? I do not understand the mechanism.

I know some articles say both extreme hot and cold effect MG. But only the heat bothers me. I love the cold weather and feel great even in freezing temps. And when my legs are bad I put ice on them and the symptoms subside.

If MGers are so affected by heat, why don't they recommend those ice jackets like they use for MS patients?

Just curious,
