Jay Yes bath time is a chore. I feel weak and have to kust wrsp towels around me and they lay on the bed. I can never bath if no one is home. Showers are good but then I am unstable. I know what you mean about the pushchair I push my grandaughter. My saviour also is the shopping trolly! I have a scooter so as I can still do family walks and Don’t miss out. It is hard to use these aids Jay especially when young. Bless you I hope you find your answers Kim
Thank you Sue and Kim. I think I might just bite the bullet and get a stick. At least I won’t be so worried when I do go out.
I haven’t dare have a shower for months after feeling like I was about to pass out the last time. Baths are somewhat safer as I can hold onto something if I feel funny.
I just can’t work out why some days I feel relatively ok and other days I feel rough. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern to it all. I lost some symptoms from my first episode and gained new ones from my second.
Frustrated and confused are not a good mix!
Jay
Lol Jay join the funny farm. There is no reason or ryhm to my episodes. I feel I am going totally mad What was o.k yesterday is not o.k today and sometimes even within hours. My body and mind is out of control.I am becoming more insular to my safe house which is home God only knows what is going on. I need my test results for my sanity.
Hi Kim, yes I’m the same… laying on the bed at home is my safe place! I avoid doing certain things just in case I feel unwell. Tripped/stumbled 5 times today as my stupid right leg didn’t want to work properly. Embarrassing enough in its self but when a van full of workman beeped their horn and cheered, well that made me want to be swallowed up by the ground!!
Thought I was having a relatively good day (stumbling aside) but now I feel rubbish… tired, achy, lightheaded…
Roll on bedtime!
Aw I’m sorry you had some stumbles today Jay. People can be unkind at times. My bed was calling me after about an hour of being up lol. I made myself stay up but dont think I will be long out of bed now. Have a good rest, tomorrow is another day Kim
I don’t remember where I read it but my memory of what I read was; Before mri’s etc, a dignostic tool for ms was a hot bath.
As it 'brought on ’ symptoms. please don’t ‘quote’ me, as I can’t remember where I read it I do not know if it was a reliable
source.
p.s. It stuck in my mind as long hot baths are my ‘special thing’. But recently if I am not careful with the temperature they wipe
me out.(I have been Dignoses with ms)
I feel for you not being able to enjoy a bath. P.s a big public Thankyou for your advice and support.
