MS patients who are exposed to heat see a temporary worsening of their symptoms; removal from the heat causes the symptoms to subside.

Before MRIs were being used to more conclusively diagnose MS, doctors would sometimes place patients in a hot tub: if their symptoms got worse, and then subsided following removal from the tub, doctors would suspect MS as the cause.

It is important to note that the temporary worsening of symptoms caused by heat does not affect disease progression and does not cause earlier onset of disease progression.
