Forget summer struggles; winter is the worst season for my MS

[Benjamin Hofmeister]

I suffer in any kind of temperature extreme. In the heat I wilt. In the cold, I stiffen and curl up. It’s like I’ve become a reptile and cannot regulate my body temperature. My neurologist and I are on a quest to find out if any lesion in my hypothalamus region are interfering with my inner thermostat, and whether I’m experiencing autonomic dysfunction.
