A simple way to cool down quickly is to hold your wrists under a cold running tap for a minute or so. Or if that's not possible have someone put your hands and wrists into a bowl of iced water. ππ¦π€πxx

Good idea Mathew, Lynne xALS diagnosed November 2017, limb onset. For the 4 yrs previously I was losing my balance.
I'm staying positive and taking each day as it comes. -
feet in cold water is good. even just bare feet.
ice lolly down your t-shirt.
pants in the freezer is good. doesnt stay cold for long but just for a while its wonderful.
freezer things that go in the icebox just hold them or give them a big hug.
better still put feet in ice box
