Heat impairs people with MS

More than 400,000 people in the U.S. are afflicted with multiple sclerosis. The most common characteristics include fatigue, weakness, balance problems and numbness. Approximately 80% of those with MS have heat-related symptoms. This low heat tolerance affects many MS patients physically and mentally.
