I had a look at the site but couldn't work out what was their "cooling kit". They had so much to choose from.

I know I can't apply for free anything because I live "elsewhere" but I'm interested to see how they decide who gets it all for free.

Maybe I could put pressure on some of our companies here who make similar products.........or on MS sites here in OZ Land to put pressure on the companies that supply these goods, to give us all a better deal.

One can only try!

Erin,

I just received this information from a fellow MSer that you may find beneficial. The Steele Vest I have was paid for by a local MS foundation through the University of Missouri (we also have monthly support meetings). You may want to contact the University of Nebraska to inquire if they have a MS foundation available too.

ARE YOU HEAT-SENSITIVE?
Many people with MS experience weakness, fatigue, visual disturbances, and other symptoms when they become overheated. The MSF Cooling Program offers a variety of items, free of charge, including cooling vests and accessories, to help with heat-sensitivity. Applications are accepted through June 1st. Send applications to: The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, 6350 North Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309. Applications can also be submitted online at http://msfocus.org/programs_coolapp.php. Additional applications can be obtained by calling: 1-888-MSFOCUS (673-6287).

Hope this is a help for you. I know how the midwest heat and humidity can play havoc on us.

Heck Yeah!! Keep on keepin' on! LOL People in "OZ Land" get hot too!! LOL
