Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Several years ago I went to the Carribean, and spent about ten days either in agony or drugged out of my gourd. Hot, humid, and horrible! Yet here at home (Edmonton) I can go in a hot tub and exercise, which I have been doing for about seven years now, and feel wonderful. Sometimes I think it is the only thing that saved my sanity during some of my really bad leg spells. I have not the faintest idea why hot & humid bothers me in the Carribean but not here. Maybe because in the south it is hot & humid all the time, while I only exercise for about two hours at a time - alternating with a regular swimming pool - and the rest of the time I am in the regular Edmonton air which is usually pretty dry. And often very cold! Anyhow, I would recommend that some of you - very carefully of course - try out a whirlpool. Just giving it a careful try shouldn't hurt anything, and maybe it might help. Everybody is not the same of course - I have PPMS - but odds are if it helps me, it probably might help somebody else too. Don't just ask your Dr. - the automatic answer is stay away from heat & humidity - actually test it out for yourself. You are the only one who knows how you really feel when you do something. But just because all the experts say that hot & humid is bad for all MSrs doesn't make it so. Cause here I am, living (I think) proof. But I repeat - BE CAREFUL.
