ANSWER -4. "I should expect the blurred vision to resolve

2. Urinary retention is primarily treated by medication
(bethanochol), and exercises can aid with it but are not the
primary treatment
3. Hot temperatures are bad for MS and can worsen
symptoms. Your nerves are already fcked up and extra heat
can stress your body into overdrive
