 Cooling Techniques & Devices
By: Beth Bullard, OTR,
Can Do MS Programs Consultant
Around 60-80% of individuals living with MS experience heat intolerance, particularly during the warmer summer months. Simply explained, when the body's temperature elevates nerve conduction is slowed or blocked causing a temporary worsening of symptoms. The effects are unique with each individual having their own threshold and response to heat and humidity.

 May 2012 CAN DO Program 27 participants completed the four day empowerment program.
After completing another successful CAN DO Program we'd like to thank all of our program staff along with everyone who helped behind the scenes to ensure the program ran without a hitch. Many people now have hope in their future and know they have the power to be more than their MS. With the overwhelmingly positive response from our participants we'd like to share Randy and Mary Ormson's (pictured) thoughts on the program.
"Mary and I can't thank Can Do MS enough for a fabulous week of events that have given us a new perspective and insight on our situation, one that has changed our lives forever! We were so impressed by your guidance and direction as well as your support during the entire four day event. Your professionalism and expertise was vital to our experience and we can't thank you enough."
