Guide To Multiple Sclerosis Treatments

Cool Down

Extensive research has shown that multiple sclerosis flare-ups are often even more severe when patients are too hot. Thus, many doctors with MS patients will stress that they need to keep their body temperature down as much as possible. There are countless options to do this. It includes taking cool showers instead of hot ones, keeping the air conditioning up in the summer, using fans, and wearing breathable clothing. Cold beverages are also important.

However, it can be hard to regulate these ways of staying cool. This is why some medical professionals and organizations will provide their multiple sclerosis patients with cooling vests to help reduce their symptom severity. Cooling vests and other medical devices to keep a patient’s body temperature down are more reliable than natural options. However, they can be more expensive and time-consuming to deal with.
