Got this from a fellow active MSer. Thanks Gale! - D

I have come up with a partial solution to beat the heat.
Before I leave the house, I put a freezer pack in a small cooler. I add a cold drink and a wet towel…dish towel size. I put it in my car. Every time I come back to the car from a errand, I take a few sips of the cold drink and put it back in if I still have more places to go. I take the now cold, wet towel and wipe my face and my arms with it. It is amazing what it does to the body! Then, I twist it and put it around my neck while I am driving. At red lights, I re-twist the towel differently to get to the inside cold part of the towel on my neck. If I am wearing shorts, I also wipe the towel up and down my legs. It gives me just enough of a boost of energy to get me to the next place. When I arrive at home, I bring the cooler in the house, put the freezer pack back in the freezer for tomorrow and hang the towel out to dry. Use a clean towel every day, otherwise they start to smell! My husband even loves it and he doesn’t have MS.
Take care!
