hi! I have a lot of experience with HOT HEAD, and while I can't give you any medical advice (for which you can thank God), I can tell you how common that symptom has been for me, and how I've dealt with it. Can you tell us a little about how your hot head feels, and what you're doing to cope with it? It may or may not be a full on attack, but it's certainly a fairly common symptom. I hope you feel you can contact the doctor who diagnosed you, and discuss this symptom with them. They should be able to help you understand whether a new symptom needs treatment, or when to come back and see them or consult your own primary care physician. I think you did a good thing coming to this forum with your question, but you should probably also consult your own team of healthcare professionals. Attack or not, if you have a question, you should talk to them.
Now let's talk about your hot head! Is your scalp sweating like crazy? That's how my hot head hits me! Mine always appears when I'm exercising, either at the gym (pre-pandemic) or at home. I sweat a lot from my head, and have found that cooling devices help a lot, as does having extra towels when the temperatures are warmer, or when I'm working out. NOTHING cools me off like a wet gym towel wrapped around my neck. There are wonderful devices called "cooling scarves" that are widely available -- I get mine on Etsy! You soak them for a few minutes, and they're filled with crystals that expand and hold the water, and they can keep you cool for hours! In addition, they're also easily recharged by getting them wet again.
The name of the sweating symptom is called hyperhidrosis, which is useful because you can search for that term on line and reaad about other people's experiences with it.
I'm glad you found this group so early in your journey, and I hope you treat your MS as well as it can be treated. You're very fortunate to be on a Disease Modifying Therapy, and such a good one! When your DMT suits you, it can do you a lot of good, and I hope Tecfidera continues to be effective.
In solidarity, Therry, a Team and Coommunity
