Question Need cooling vest...
My Olhipie is not doing the heat well even with the AC on.

Could anyone give me some information on a good one but not to expensive...I'd even buy a used one... I did a Google, found so many...don't know what to look for!!

I hope some one who knows the website will come along and help. I think it's MSAA but they have a free cooling program. You get a cooling vest of your choice and several other cooling products like things to put inside your hat, sit on or on your wrists. Your doctor has to fill out some paper work but it's all free.

tami,

it is MSAA. you might also call your local MS society and see if they can give you any info. the # to find your local chapter is 1-800-FIGHT MS.

and, since this is summer you might also find cooling collars in the store like walmart or even walgreens. i know how much we "love" walmart
they're really inexpensive and work well.

If you can't get it there fast enough then my guess is walmart or ebay. I would go with walmart.

I got my cooling vest thru the above site. They were fast, and didnt ask alot of questions. it was one of the few that didnt penalize me for making above the poverty level money.
