:eek: Ack, can I claim ignorance still?? I forgot heat can exacerbate. Yikes, I LOVE my hot baths, but always have to sit after I got out of them. I figured it was just TOO hot (I like them VERY HOT). I did notice, before knowing it was MS and that heat was bad, that with my last flare up, heat made it worse. I forgot I mentioned it to my doc until I read her notes. Otherwise, when I am not "active" it does not bother me.

Ok, strike that, take a tepid bath :p

Just wondering: where exactly were you experiencing that "warm feeling"?

I guess my eyes must move faster than my brain can think: I thought FinLady was sending you cyberBugs!!! :confused::rolleyes: Eeeeek!!! :eek:

Okay then, forget the hot bath and take a cold shower. Brrrrrrr! :rocket:

It's okay, Connie, you meant well! :) My arthritis loves a hot shower, my MS doesn't. I try to find a balance. Oh wait. I don't have any balance. :confused:

I feel a little better today. Once in a while, everything seems to rear its ugly rear at once, and it just overwhelms me. Today I've got it just a wee bit more pulled together (she likes to think).

I've got to get my Mickey Rivers thing going. Back in the day, I saw an interview with "Mick the Quick", and the interviewer asked him how he could be so laid back about everything.

I can't quote it precisely, but essentially he said: "Well, I don't worry about the things I can't do anything about, because I can't do anything about them anyway. And I don't worry about the things I CAN do something about, because I can DO something about them so I don't need to worry about them either. So why worry?"

UH OH!!! :eek: :D

Someone has a siggy line that reminds me of this, "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining." ;)

Hmm, shouldn't be joking when you've been feeling lousy....
Not making light of it at all, promise!!

:hug:

When my PCP made me cry about my DX (like it's HARD to make me cry) and I apoligized to her for crying she said "you have a right to cry". I do, sometimes,not all the time though. Some days are like that.
