"sat out in *87 temperature for two football games... for a few hours."

That alone wouldn`t have been a good plan for me.

I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV, but...If I sat out in the sun longer then, oh, 5 minutes, they'd be pouring me into the car for the drive home. Fatigue, noodle-legs, the whole nine yards...How are you feeling after cooling down and resting?

Yep....

If I sat for two hours in high temperatures, and then had a long car drive I would have trouble walking too. Best way I can describe that feeling - like the legs are really stiff and yet made of jelly all at the same time - or perhaps even belong to someone else....because they weigh a ton and I wouldn't have control over what they did.

The question is, how did you feel after you had cooled down, and had a rest?

So sorry you are going through all this cr*p - I think limboland would be much worse than being able to tackle this Monster head on.

Yeah, what they said. If I sat out in the heat, you would have to drag me home by the hair. I would not be able to sit up on a scooter, let alone walk.

Me, too. Heat and MS do not play well together.

I learned the hard way, too. I just did not want to accept the fact that I couldn't tolerate the heat and would sit myself down in it and dare it to affect me. Well, the heat won. And I now know better. It was a hard lesson to learn but I know how much I hate that feeling of not being able to make my legs work.

Like the others, sitting in 87 degree weather would have done me in as well. In fact, I would have only made it 5 minutes max before I became a neurological mess - blurred vision, slurred speech and being unable to get sentences out correctly, trouble walking - balance, stiff legs, spasticity, etc. And then to get in a car and drive 2 hours would only add to the mess.

Also, like others mentioned, how did you feel after you cooled down and rested?

I hope you are doing better.

I sat at a football game in the heat before I knew I had to take precautions and quite literally could not have walked back to my car by myself. DH was there and was able to get me to the car. My legs just had zero strength and I was physically unable to walk up the hill. That was seriously scary.
