You two seem to be worse than I am! I have found in the winter I choose lighter sweaters than before TM. In the summer, we keep the air conditioner pretty cool - around 71 with ceiling fans going too. In the winter we keep the heat at around 65 during the day and 60 at nite. All our friends know to wear heavier clothing and grab an afghan when they come over. I also can be doing basically nothing and all of a sudden I feel a heat coming out from within - hate it. Hope this improves. Janice ----- Original Message ----- From: bradebi To: transverse myelitis ; Janice ; [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 9:45 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC]

sweating! feet feel like there on fire(when I put lotion on them it melts and
turns to water) no kidding. banding is on right side rib cage to waist.

Hi Janice
I get very hot when it is only in the 70 or 80's for no reason I
can just be on the computer or watching TV and I will get real hot so much that
I sweat a lot..(I soak my blouse) but I only sweat on my face neck and
breasts..my lesion is at nipple level T4 my banding is where my bra
snaps...so it feels like my bra is way to tight.
In the cold weather I get more spastic and tight it hurts to bend
knees and ankles. I still have the banding in winter too...and if my husband
puts the furnace up to high I will over heat...I love to go out in the snow
with just what I have on and bear foot and watch all the steam come off me..its
a riot...

This is Janice,
I have 2 questions:
1. With hot weather coming, do any of you have a problem with all
of a sudden being really hot? I know some
of you had a problem with the cold last winter, but does your
body change in summer and you get hit with being hot instead
of cold? I really have a problem with heat - especially with
humidity. I get hot, then weak. Not good.
2. Several of you have mentioned the tight "band" around your
body. I am not sure this band is in the same place for
everyone. Also, has there been any change in the band with
those of you who have had TM for a long time?
