Do Showers Wipe Out Your Energy?

Lots of degrees of severity with POTS as well as which dysautonomia is significant.

We had this until we got engaged and now with another person being home in case we fall or something to help out has given us some independence back! We used to live alone and if the shower triggered our POTS we could be wiped out on the floor of the bathroom for hours

Many people use a shower chair. Sometimes I sit on the floor when I shower.

for me it was so exhausting and painful that i resorted to taking baths instead! i add some epsom salt for bad pain days too and it’s definitely better than standing!

Yes!! I always have to lie back down on the bed, cool off, and rest. Even with a shower chair.

Definitely a shower chair! I bought 1 last fall, makes a huge difference! I still sit for 20 mins after, just recovering.

I use a shower stool, but it’s still exhausting. I go to a salon to get a blowout once a wk..mainly for the fact that they’ll wash my hair lol 20 bucks & I’m not in pain after…worth every penny! Lol
