Ryota, All I can say about temperatures is that I can not tolerate warm temperatures. My head starts sweating and I feel light headed. I just get weak all over. Our heating bills are low in the winter because we keep the house so cool. Of course, our summer cooling bills are fairly high because we keep it pretty cool in the house. We live in Missouri in the US. I guess we are all different. Janice

I moved from New Zealand to Fiji in June 2011 as I got a new job here. Within three days of arrival in Fiji, the 'pins and needles' sensations across my belly disappeared and receded to mid thigh. I had had TM since Oct 2010. This may be the full extent of my recovery, though. Some people say TM can exacerbate under heat. But my GP back in New Zealand, who operates on an 'integrative medicine' paradigm, commented that if the ambient temperature is too low, the energy gets chewed up thinking about coping with the cold. Certainly his comment rings true to me. TM has accentuated my aversion to winter. I lived in Christchurch, NZ, shaking since September 2009. Cold and damp winter. Unlike North America, central heating is unheard of. The 'stiff upper lip' mentality is encouraged to endure the poor heating apparatus and appalling housing. Any thoughts on TM and ambient temperature? Ryota
