Managing Chronic Pain and Fatigue: Tips and Tricks

I have had a really hard time taking care of myself lately, but I use an African Net Sponge whenever I do get the energy to shower… I feel like it really helps to exfoliate and also just make me feel like heavy/grimey if that makes sense.

Dry shampoo and baby wipes. I've had stints like that too. Body spray of subtle scents have helped as well.

sometimes when i can’t shower i take a washcloth with either warm or cold water and just go over my face with it. i put some deodorant gel on and redo my bun/ponytail for bed and it makes me feel a bit cooler and better about myself

I hate baths

I soak in the tub just to get the grime off. Easier than standing in the shower.

When I can't shower, I usually wash up. I also use a shower stool. I have a cane and a rollator on hand for those really rough days, or when I need to walk a great distance.
