Choosing a Cooling Vest for MS
ActiveMSers is the internet’s leading resource for cooling vest information. This exhaustive guide details every factor you need to consider before purchasing a cooling vest for your disability. Includes links to free programs and exclusive discounts for members.
From cooling wraps and cooling sheets to portable air conditioners and cryotherapy, members of ActiveMSers discuss and share their personal experience—what works and what doesn’t—with cooling gear for multiple sclerosis.
Some medications for chronic illnesses—e.g., interferons and glatiramer acetate for multiple sclerosis and insulin for diabetics—need to be temperature controlled or refrigerated. Transporting these DMTs requires care, and ActiveMSers has uncovered an alarming concern.
