Seasonal Effects on Multiple Sclerosis

Clothing

Wearing the right clothes is crucial in keeping cool. Make sure you wear very light clothing that is loose-fitting, and forego darker colors to avoid trapping the heat. It is also a good idea to pay attention to the fabrics you are wearing. Cotton in particular is great, because the natural fibers allow air to circulate freely (acting like your own personal air conditioner). Linen fabrics have the same effect and provide great breathability.
