Re: Shower issues
(Anonymous) 2016-02-21 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)I hadn't heard of POTS until today but it sounds difficult to manage.
Re: Shower issues
I don't have many friends with health problems either, and for years I've been doing the whole "oh shit, hide all the sick person stuff!" run around before they come over. I've completely lost the energy to care though. It's very liberating.
POTS is an asshole. I think someone described it like living with an abusive partner. I expend all my energy just trying not to set off a bad episode.
You might try asking for more advice in the chronic fatigue sub in the future:

There are a few blogs around that are written by some pretty cool people, and they post good tips on how they deal with stuff. I am still finding things that work for me, and I find myself having to constantly adapt things because my symptoms change a lot.
Umm. A few other things I find help, I lay out my clothes and moisturisers on my bed before I shower. I usually pop on the telly and watch something while I moisturise. I get in a sort of autopilot mode while I watch so it feels like it goes faster, and then I'm already on my bed so I can just flop into the sleep position and let it happen when the urge to pass out hits.
I hope you get stuff figured out a bit better soon. Take care of yourself!
