I have only experienced a small amount of neuralgia, but I 'think' the cold air hitting my face has caused it to be worse. I looked on several websites and found this about a gentle breeze,but didn't see anything that directly stated about cold weather.
Perhaps someone else will have a better answer for you. Until then....  "Even a gentle breeze blowing on the face can trigger pain. Known causes include multiple sclerosis or tumours pressing against the nerve." http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/b...explained?open

The cold air makes me more spastic. I become stiff and clunky. I think because the circulation slows down it may affect the nerves. I dont know for sure.

Yes, Jigg, I believe the cold can trigger a few MS symptoms....just as the Heat also does. I still prefer the cold to the heat.
I'm a rag in the summer but I am invigorated in the cold. The extremes of hot and cold are not good for any of us. I stay in my climate controlled home, during those times. Take care..

Cold causes constriction if I'm not mistaken (coloring book medical knowledge here, lol) and I know being in cold for me results in my neuralgia pains being more pronounced.
When I have attacks of pain, migraines, headaches etc.... unlike many MSers who can't stand them, the best 'cure' for me is a steaming hot bath. It seems the heat opens things up and the pain starts to fade away.

I have yet to receive my diagnosis, although I'm getting closer. I too, have noticed more nerve pain lately. I have alot of numbness, tingling and pain in my left leg, from butt to foot. Lately, at night, it drives me nuts. Burning, tingling pain and takes forever to relax enough to sleep. I was offered neurontin for this a few months ago, but declined because I take enough pills and really didn't want to add any more to the list, BUT, ready to call and request a prescription.
