Temperature Changes
Jul 24th, 2005 at 10:55pm
 
My wife and I are curious if anyone has problems with temperature changes, such as going into an air-conditioned room sfter coming in from outside.  Or coming into a house that may be very warm after catching a chill outside???  Or perhaps something as simple as a draft...

Michael is very sensitive to temperatures and will have a TIA if the A/C is too high on his school bus, or if the temperature difference is drastic between one room to the next.  For whatever reason, he can handle the heat much better than he can handle the cold.

Does anyone have problems with these areas as well?

Thanx in advance,

I think it's affect Cara too.  Very likely !!!!  With this hot Arizona heat 110 plus, into AC....she has a TIA more often with immediate change of temp. that I try to avoid that as much as possible...keeping her at home then into the pool and back in the house...seems to have less TIA's or none.  She went without TIA's during months when AC wasn't on and temps outside same as inside.  CarasMOM

There have been a number of reports about cold weather affecting moyamoya patients. Our neuro recommended that our son, Brian, live in a warmer climate. I guess we'll all be staying in Phoenix Smiley

Hi Dewski,

Yep, I really get messed up with dramatic temperature changes.  In fact, that was one of the first complaints I had before being diagnosed with MM.  It's very bad when I go from the hot outdoors and then into A/C.  Funny because I'm okay with the heat itself but then when coming indoors I get a rip-roaring headache and TIAs.  Usually have to take some medication and lay down for awhile.  I don't have a problem though with coming from the cold into a heated environment.   Smiley  I've always attributed it to the blood vessels dialating/constricting with the heat change but that is just a guess on my part.

Thank you all for your replies!

It makes our house an interseting place to live sometimes, as I have Multiple Sclerosis, so when the heat gets brutal, especially like it si this year, I'm usually in a room somewhere in the house where there is an air conditioner, while Michael is somewhere watching TV where there is no drafts.  LOL   ;Grin

Central Air would never work for my family!  Hehehe
