I am with you preferring hot to cold. I cannot do too hot, but in the cold everything seizes up!

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks this in the cold I turn into a tin soldier

Personally any extreme weather makes my symptoms worse, whether it's too hot or too cold and damp. Either way it makes me more dizzy and unstable, so the weather definitely affects mine.
