While still in the hospital after being diagnosed with TM over 5 years ago, the neurologist told me to avoid heat as it would exacerbate the TM conditions. He said to avoid hot showers.
Later on another neurologist I was going to also told me to avoid heat. Of course that is easier said than done. If I am out in the heat or sun much the banding increases, fatigue worsens and my head and neck hurt (a headache extending into my neck). Again, heat was one of the first things mentioned to me as a cause of worsening symptoms.

I drove to Wichita, KS today (5.5 hours from Colby) for a conference. At 9AM it was 94 degrees; upon arrival in Wichita it was 108 degrees! I'd wave a white flag but I'm busy using it to fan myself.
