Hot water for fibro pain relief

Hot showers are life giving!!! I use heated stuffed animals sometimes or heat patches and those are great!

Yes honestly hot baths arent even hot enough xD ive heard this is rlly rlly common even with heating pads for ppl with chronic pain disorders.

I would live in a hot bath if I could honestly 😂 That being said sometimes I take the hot baths/heating pads too far and forget that I need to also use ice/cold wraps on sore muscles later. I have to give myself reminders after physical therapy or extra physical days to use an ice pack.

YES YES YES!!!!! I love love love steaming hot showers, it’s even better if you add a “shower bomb” to make the whole place smell like lavender

Absolutely. I take epsom salt baths for my joints, its very short term relief but it’s nice to be able to sit there for an hour or two and not be in pain

they're kind of a guilty pleasure, but i generally only take them when i'm really emotionally down. i stopped years ago for the sake of my poor dry hair and my pots thanks me for it - my worst episodes are always right after a long, hot bath

I can't do hot water, it's actually bad for dry skin. So I prefer warm to hot showers. That being said heating pads are a dream, especially for my lower back

Yesss I love it! I’ve been looking into getting my a portable hot tub for home.

Yessssss! And there are studies into this being a regular thing in patients with POTS. Increasing sodium and fluid intake (and corrosponding electrolytes) is known to help POTS patients. Good luck 😊
