Showering
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone else dread taking a shower? By the time I'm done I have to rest before even thinking of the chore of extremely thick hair.

I have a shower stool so that I can sit while I shower. I find that it does relieve some of the strain. I also drink cold water as soon as I get out. For some reason, I feel dehydrated after a shower.

I have recently switched my shower routine and it seems to be working for me. I take a bath at night and soak for as long as I can. Then take a quick shower to wash my hair. It IS exhausting, but since it's right before bed I can just go to sleep. In the morning I have been using "dry shampoo" spray to fix my hair. I used to dread the shower process but this small change has helped a lot!

I know u r use to washing your hair often but it really is not good for it. I wash mine once a week or so. Mine is down to below my bottom and straight.

I hate it. I have a bench that fits over the edge of the tub. When my parents built the suite on the side of the house for me they put a handicapped shower. no rim flat that drains to the center. I still use a shower chair that I sit on to wash my hair(not thick). I use the bench I used in the tub to sit on when I get out of the shower because I am so tired I have to sit or fall.
