I bought a cooling collar and I love it. My neuro actually sells them in her office. I also have a cooling vest but I don't like it. Too bulky. The collar is perfect and inexpensive.

Default Not Very Well Lately
I posted earlier about the tactics I use to survive in the heat.

Unfortunately, recently, the weather here in California has been unusually hot AND humid. Our summer started out unusually mild......

Hot = I have been able to deal with (mostly). (See previous post).

Hot AND Humid = has been sinking me and my MG.......

This atypical weather for Southern California (near the beach) finally has me believing that this "Global Change" is real, folks!! (Whoops, sorry, I guess this statement is for another forum).

Back to the topic:
Surviving by staying inside in air conditioning and hydrating (drinking fluids) often.

And by "doin' nuttin' honey.........."

I too feel the effects more when it is hot. Sometimes it will make the symptoms worse. Then it will take several hours up too a day too get back to where I was before. I thought it was just me being from up North but living in MS.
