I can't answer the question, but my guess would be yes, that other auto immune disorders are heat sensitive.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I never had heat issues till I started having Reynaud's symptoms - cold hands and feet. That came with the migraines, and is a vascular/nerve thing. But all my sx kind of came on around that time, so it's hard to say if the heat thing was part of the Reynaud's or what. And to confuse the issue, I am cold sensitive too.

To my limited knowledge, peppermint and St John's Wort are especially not to be combined with some meds - mint increased their effacacy and SJW decreases it. Grapefruit juice increases some meds several times over.

I can use mint with my current meds, in moderation (topamax and muscle relaxers). It helps with lots of things from stomach upset to fatigue, plus makes a nice iced tea or garnish.


I know limbo stinks, but I'd rather no dx than one that is wrong or we're unsure of. Some of my probs took a year or so to dx - which seemed forever at the time. 6.5 yrs later my neuro is still testing and watching for ms. I may never know.
