PMR in cold or inclement weather

PMR occasionally affects my legs slightly, but last night I sat through a 2+ hour lacrosse game in the cold and felt my legs were made of wood. It was hard to walk and I stumbled. This morning I am back to normal. So the cold didn't cause the PMR but it did intensify and change its effects for me.

Boy can I relate to the sitting for long periods of time and having a hard time walking when I first get up even though my PMR is in remission. I also have one of PMR's ugly relatives Arthritis that makes walking fun. I'm just thankful it's starting to warm up here and hopefully into the 80s in the next week or so.
