The only time my MS flares up is in the dead of winter or the height of summer.

Walking is more difficult in either extreme cold or heat. My legs become dead weights and every step outdoors requires a noticeable effort, The dry cool air of fall is my favorite time of year.

Ditto. Not to mention that fall just smells so darn good!

Only the change from Fall to Winter and Spring to Summer affects me.

It mostly affects my depression which is related to my MS. I'm trying to stay positive thinking of the winter to spring and spring to summer transition.

The heat of summer affects me most.

When it's cold I can get the MS hug. It will include me basically, freezing on the spot, hardly able to breathe and hurting so bad that tears go down me face! All I can do is wait it out. 🤗💕🌠

I think perhaps,im new to this, but I always seem to get sick in the damp cool of rainy or winter weather. Maybe that's why I always want to be gone from home?

Agree that I suffer at the heat of summer and the coldest of winter are the worst.

Living through the Florida heat daily, the cooler temps are always welcome. The cooler temperatures help with my constant internal inflammation and fatigue.

I’m sensitive to the barometric pressure even more so since my MS diagnosis in 1999.

Sometimes it's bad other times it's not & sometimes no effect. The worst it severe cold all of a sudden or humid heat!

Fall is my favorite season, MSAA_archived but changes in seasons affect me a lot. Physical issues like spasticity hits me with the hot/cold, damp/dry conditions changes. The dry hot Arizona weather is manageable with AC. I don’t need to worry about wicked NE winters anymore! :-D
