Hi folks

Used my cool tie today for the first time, I attended an MS support volunteer training session and was dreading it, must say I don't feel anywhere near as bad as I did yesterday; so it seems to have helped.

Probably would prefer the 'cool vest' but I found it a bit pricey when I looked the other year.

Stay cool folkscool

Ah Janet; just realised the brand name is actually 'kool Tie'.

It contains some kind of crystals which when soaked in water will help to keep the body cool for quite a long time. My friend who used to be a nurse tells me that the 'cool tie' I was wearing yesterday would have cooled an artchery in my neck. As I said, I am sure the 'cool vest' works a lot better.

I read about them on this site; when I googled 'cool vest' this is what I came up with.

A cooling vest or ice vest or "precool vest" is a piece of equipment worn to cool a person down. Cooling vests are used by many athletes, industry workers, doctors, working dogs, people with Multiple Sclerosis or Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and by military pilots and tank crews.

Thanks Wendy,

I'd never heard of them before and it sounds like a good idea especially in this hot weather, which absolutley finishes me off.
