Avatar m tn t help for my fatigue. Prior to being diagnosed with MS, my epilepsy neurologist always told me that my fatigue was due to the epi drugs I was on. Are you on any other drugs or perhaps have other medical conditions that might be causing or worsening your fatigue as well?
Avatar f tn Heat fatigue is not just isolated to MS. Many diseases are worse in the heat, I think we just fatigue more easily. I have Transverse Myelitis and that is worse in the heat but I guess that is similar to MS but I find any raise in body temperature usually makes my symptoms worse. Cheers, Udkas.
721523 tn?1331581802 I am about 6 weeks along and the pregnancy fatigue is a major IMPROVEMINT over the MS version. I am actually doing well. I was able to go out in the heat and help my husband with the lawn-mower repairs without getting over heated! Happy mothers day to ALL WOMEN. It should be a day to celebrate EVERY woman in your life, not just the mothers you know!
Avatar m tn As I pointed out CCSVI has been widely disproved, and heat doesn't have anything to do with progression. You are assuming the monkey was actually alive and under stress, therefore increasing it's body temperature etc and that humans undergoing testing for CCSVI would not be stressed, emotional charged ie anxiety, fear, excitement etc with raised body temp.
Avatar m tn I share your distress over heat. I'm sorry you have those troubles. I have issues with heat as well, but I guess more so along the lines of 'typical' MS heat issues, but whether or not MS is the cause remains to be seen. Never the less, heat kills me. A day at 60 degrees I am on top of the world, very few sx, can do darn near anything I want to, but the next with 72+ and sunny, my day is shot before I can get out of the bed. My symptoms are really tied to heat.
428506 tn?1296557399 I always thought that heat intolerance was an MS thing. I am incredible heat intolerant. If I go in the sun or have a hot shower - even just a few minutes of exposure - I got weak and my muscles feel tight and painful. My muscle control is terrible. I tingle too. I have not been able to exercise at all due to this. (I am a former marathon runner and mountaineer). I have been tested for both MS and lyme - normal brain mri's and normal ELISA and Western Blot tests for Lyme.
1281603 tn?1283798699 I have many features of MS (++fatigue, muscle pain, strange gait, brain fog, etc) but on MRI they found no MS lesions, only "numerous punctate T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the subcortical regions of both cerebral hemispheres" which they suggested were most likely related to chronic microvascular disease. Now once again I am questioning whether they missed something. I had a bath last night, drained the tub, then when I tried to get out....nothing.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering if heat intolerance is an issue for everyone that has MS? I have not been diagnosed yet, but I have many symptoms. I do not have any problems with heat intolerance, I don't think. I am really trying to pin point the times when my symptoms are at their worst and a cause. So far, I have only figured out that when I am tired things are worse. Duh!!

Avatar f tn Heat and humidity are my worst - some days this past summer I walked and talked like I had been drinking at work. And fatigue... there's 'always there' fatigue, then there was 'heat fatigue,' 'stress fatigue,' 'lack of sleep' fatigue... Now temps are cooler, the 'always there' fatigue seems worse. Could be because, like you, my muscles are hurting worse. Weakness is no longer constant but pain has now replaced that.
Avatar f tn Melissa - In MS we all notice that our symptoms may increase with heat, or with fatigue, or with overuse (in the case of muscles). They may also return with relapses when the disease flares up again. I don't agree with the nurse that stated that all nerve damage is worse in heat. In diabetic peripheral neuropathy some people experience some relief with mild heat.
Avatar f tn My two longest and most persistent symptoms of Lyme + Bart have been fatigue and shortness of breath/air hunger. I have also had heat sensitivity. After 6 months of abx, I am much better this summer than last, but as I am in Las Vegas visiting family, and it has been 111F (44C) here the last couple days, I realize my heat sensitivity isn't entirely gone. Over 100F (38C) I find that I almost immediately feel tired and my air hunger gets worse.
1210403 tn?1277953086 Could something else be causing my MS symptoms, and maybe I do have a different diagnosis? I realize that MS causes lack of strength and fatigue, but my goodness, I thought I was going to pass out!
Avatar f tn They said I am too old to have MS and not a typical presentation. I went on a Palio type diet last November and am somewhat better but plagued by fatigue, heat intolerance, red stiff toes, hypotension, temperature disregulation(I am always cold), sleep disturbance, etc. Is there any viable treatments? Help for the horrible fatigue?
Avatar f tn If I were you I wouldn't spend much time pondering this. As you gain more experience with your own brand of MS (and everyone's MS is unique), you'll be able to tell what's what and come up with ways of minimizing some of it.
195469 tn?1388322888 As you know crushing fatigue has been my constant companion first with the vertigo from 2001, then doubled when the MS reared its head. I do take Provigil, but it doesn't make me feel better. It just allows me enough energy to get up and do things, like psot on the forum. I recently have been tested for thyroid, Vit D and testosterone. I had the testing for testosterone done because back about 15 years ago we were searching for a cause of my loss of libido.
987762 tn?1671273328 Maybe that is me getting used to having a diagnosis of MS or maybe the fatigue has lifted making me feel better. I should keep a look out to see if symptoms are worse during warmer days etc. Thanks - a good tip.
