Dr. Zamboni has shown by experiment that pwMS have slow adjustment to changes in posture. I think that is also evident with sudden changes in temperature such as occur when you enter a hot bath or shower. The same effect, I believe, is apparent when someone stops running or cycling, due to the sudden loss of skin evaporation when the wind stops. This sudden heating that occurs can paralyze, the same as a sudden bath or shower. As Dr. Zamboni has discovered, it can take several seconds for the body/brain blood-flow to stabilize after a posture change. It may take much longer if there is a sudden temperature change, due to the length of time it takes for NO production and heat distribution by the challenged epithelium.
This can easily be proven by experiment.
