Would ms improve or remit if a suffering pt would move from a temperate zone to a warmer zone?

Could feel worse: People with ms often feel worse in hot climates or in settings such as hot tubs and saunas. Might be worth a trial in the warmer zone to see how you feel, but you will need more than just a few days to get a sense of how you feel.

Age dependent: Risk may change if an adolescent under age 14 or 15 moves from Northern latitude to Southern area. But otherwise, moving at older age makes no real difference and risk is similar to birth place. Furthermore, hot ambient surroundings will make an MS patient miserable.
