Tammy you can get a whole slew of cooling gear free yes I said FREE from the MS association

Just thought I would let you know that there are income qualifcations that have to be met to receive the free stuff.

Tammy,

Here are the best companies that sell cool vests:
www.polarsoftice.com
www.steelevest.com
www.bodycooler.com

If you qualify financially then you can get one for free from the MS Society of America as noted above by NaeNae at (800) 532-7667 (msaa@msassociation.org).

You can also Google "CoolSport" for another option.

-Vic

There is one place though that is free with no income qualifications. Unless they have added them since I got mine 10 years ago. I think mine is a Steele and I love it. I wouldn't be able to do this phototherapy for my psoriasis if I didn't have it.

Go to Activemsers.org and look for their review of cooling vests. They have a bunch of links to various makers and information about what kinds are best for various situations.
