WED and summer
WED and summer
I've read recently on the FB page that a lot of others seem to have worse wed symptoms in the summer. Thoughts?
Re: WED and summer
I've never noticed that myself. I know that I am more active physically in the summer and physical activity definitely increases my WED.

Re: WED and summer
Some people find temperature to bother or help them. Maybe it depends on the type of WED you have. It never has affected me.

Re: WED and summer
I have never noticed any difference with regard to seasons or temperature.

Re: WED and summer
I had never thought about the wed being worse in the warm weather but it's possible that it is. I know my worse times have been during the summer months but there is always other possible reasons for the increase in sensations. Jobs, Moving, Surgeries, etc......
Now though I'm just not sure which was setting it off. Hummmm..... Interesting. I read that a fair few folks are sure about theirs (worsening symptoms) being brought on by the summer.
I wonder if those people are affected by heat on their legs--better or worse. It may give some cue about which things may help make folks a little more comfortable--heat pads etc..
Thanks for the responses.

Re: WED and summer
I don't notice any difference either. I prefer summer though just because I can wear lighter clothing.
