MS temperature is one of the big concerns with the onset and prevalence of multiple sclerosis in the human body. Both the body temperature can be affected by MS, but also temperatures around a body can affect the increase of MS symptoms and advancing of the disease.

Multiple sclerosis temperature is something that can only be dealt with proactively. But, in order to understand why temperature affects or is affected by MS, one must first understand the disease itself. There are a lot of myths about this disease that need to be dispelled as well.

The human body is a machine, ultimately. Like any other machine, it is the sum of its parts, each one serving specific sets of purposes. The nervous system is the body’s electrical system and computer network. Like any wiring system, it needs insulation to preserve the electrical supply as well as signal integrity.

Unfortunately, in MS, this is undone. Myelin, the insulation that wraps around the nervous system, begins to decay and develop holes. This is called demyelination, and it is the primary mechanism of MS. The problem is, when demyelination reaches a certain point, the entire body begins to get symptoms. Various parts of it have insufficient power and poor control due to the raw nerves not carrying the signal well.

A common myth is that this only happens to the elderly and frail. This isn’t true at all, it can affect anyone without warning.

This body-wide illness is therefore one that is often treated homeopathically. No drug can cure this illness, though the permanence of MS is soon to be a thing of the past.

The symptoms can range from respiratory and cardiac problems all the way to gastric disorders and vertigo. Therefore, symptoms that can be brought on by exposure to excessive temperatures are exacerbated to even higher levels when originally brought on by MS.

This is not the only problem dealing with temperature, though, as MS can cause excessive body temperature (which can serve to exacerbate the temperature-sensitive MS symptoms). It’s a vicious cycle and it’s not pleasant.

 

Understanding MS and knowing why there’s no definite MS onset age.

 

Excessive body temperature can be caused by MS symptoms in digestion, circulation, respiration, or in reduced immune proficiency – all possible symptoms of MS. Many MS sufferers, especially older patients, can easily suffer dangerous fevers from MS.

Being proactive in preventing MS temperature problems can be as simple as maintaining a good, balanced diet planned out by a doctor or nutritionist who specializes in MS patients. However, on top of this, low impact aerobics and other exercise, despite its temporary boost of body heat, can help the body’s ability to maintain even temperatures.

Increased oxygen and proper blood flow can reduce the temperature issues, or help fight the opposite effect which sometimes happens – too low temperatures. Some MS patients also report chills and the inability to maintain the 98 degree temperature that is clinically normal.

If simple proactive actions don’t sufficiently keep temperature problems in check, this is something to be dealt with immediately by a doctor or emergency room. Excessive or insufficient body temperature do further damage and can quite possible be very fatal!
