Living in AZ means you need to be careful about that. Look for some MS support groups and you will get a lot of help from others who have experience with how things can affect you.

Also, Barrow Neurological Institute is one of the best in the country for all Neuro conditions. If you can take advantage of their expertise, do it!

MS can be tough, but there are lots of tricks you can learn to work around the problems.
