When you're cold, you can always put on a sweater or a coat, but when you're hot, there's only so much you can take off before you get arrested for indecent exposure.

Too bad I'm not skinny enough to wear bikini tops and Daisy Duke shorts during the summer. I wouldnt have to worry much about overheating then. (hah! skinny is not the word used to describe me)

I cant afford many of the cooling vests and other stuff that I've seen. I'll probably have to go to WalMart and look at the cooling stuff they have there. I was talking to my dad about getting a cooling vest last night. When I told him how much some of them cost, he said he'd turn the a/c down a bit more and I can just stay inside all summer...it'd cost the same either way.
Hi Erin
I went to the MSAA website as suggested today. If you are single and made under $32k roughly, in 2007you can apply for a cooling vest set and 2 accessories at no cost. You also need an Rx from your doctor verifying you have MS. HTH

I got the application filled out and Rx requested. That is how I spent my day. Plus I was gathering documents for my appointment tomorrow, to see if I can get Medicaid and Food Stamps. Fingers crossed, wish me luck.
