Welcome to the board Ozzy and Jennifer! Sheesh! So young!

Florida's not so bad for MS. We lived there for 9 years. Of course, living south of Miami puts ya in the tropical zone so temps over 92 degrees or so were rare. We still got a condo on Trasure Island near St. Pete - that can get hot. Where in Florida are you?

We live in Houston now. Been here over 10 years. Now this place is HOT! But I'm still active. MS hasn't been a problem. Other things have, but not MS.

Oh. I've had MS for over 21 years. Dx'ed at 30. And I'm a guy. It's supposed to be worst for guys... I don't have any outwardly noticeable symptoms (nobody ever asks me if somehing's wrong), and nobody knows I have it. So, Jennifer - there's always the possibility it won't be a big deal. I know, this sounds like it's out in left field, but most MS'ers have a relatively normal life.

I have a really fun job. I even get to be on TV during shuttle missions! The last mission was mine, so I'm off the next 2 missions (long explanation - won't go into it). And nobody would even be tempted to think I have a medical condition such as MS... There's a lot of people out there living this kind of life with MS.
