I can see our electric bill going through the roof. Why? Well, we have only had a few humid days thus far, and on those days I just don't feel well. In particular, I can feel the numbness crawling up my arm and it feels as though I am about to "tense up" like I did last year. So, I did a little checking and all the sources - including the national MS Society page - say the same thing:
Heat or high humidity can make many people with MS experience a temporary worsening of their symptoms. Doctors believe that this occurs because heat causes nerves (whose myelin covering has been destroyed from MS) to conduct electrical signals even less efficiently.
So, the air conditioner may just be running a little more this year.
