5 Problems Showering with Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A morning shower – it helps you start the day invigorated and refreshed, right? Um, no, not so much for many of us. A shower seems like a basic, simple thing, but it can pose major problems for someone with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.
I’ve seen a lot of comments here about how exhausting a shower can be. Why would a shower make us tired, sometimes even wiping us out for the rest of the day?
Several of our physiological abnormalities could be playing into it.
Exertion: Especially for those with chronic fatigue syndrome, even small amounts of exertion can be too much. A shower takes more energy than we tend to recognize – you’re standing the whole time, doing a fair amount of bending, stretching and reaching, and vigorously lathering up your head and body. When you consider that we often have to start an “exercise” routine with 2 repetitions of a simple movement, you can see how much work showering can be.
Relaxation: The hot water of a shower can be relaxing, which is great in some ways. However, for those of us who deal with profound fatigue, it’s probably not the best thing for us early in the day, when we’re still fighting to wake up.
Temperature Sensitivities: While the hot water may feel good, it can also get our temperature sensitivity going and throw off homeostasis. Our bodies have a hard time keeping us at the right temperature, so when we get heated up like that, it’s a lot of work to cool us back down to normal. Some of us get so over heated that we sweat profusely after a shower.
Dizziness: We’re prone to dizziness, and the heat of the shower combined with the motions of washing can have your body working overtime to keep your sense of balance. I’ve had frightening dizzy spells in a hot shower – very scary!
Heightened Nerve Response: Especially in fibromyalgia, the pressure of the water hitting your skin can get your nerves riled up. It might not hurt while you’re in there, but the stimulation on our over-reactive nerves could put them closer to the point of sending erroneous pain signals and making you hurt all over.
Some ways to deal with the showering problem include taking a shower at night, so the exhaustion is welcomed, or taking baths instead. Baths do pose some of the same problems, but you’re sitting and not reaching or stretching as much, so they can be less taxing. A bath also tends to steam up the bathroom less, so you may have an easier time cooling off when you get out.
While I haven’t had an extreme problem with showering like some people have, when I’ve been at my sickest I’ve relied at times on cleansing wipes. I buy them for my face, but they work well for this, too. Unscented baby wipes also aren’t bad. I can use them to freshen up quickly and easily, especially on days that I’m not leaving the house anyway. It’s not a daily solution, but they can put off a shower when you’re just not up to it. For me, feeling greasy is a sure way to make me feel bad about myself.
This is all so true but I’d like to add that I also get terrible flushing and weakness in the shower if I let it get too hot and steamy. If that happens, I can pass out and really hurt myself, and it can take days to recover just from the flushing.
So I have to keep the door open, fan on, and temperature down if I hope to get through a shower relatively unscathed. And that doesn’t even take into account all the other stuff listed above, ALL of which affect me too.
Please signal boost because this is the type of “invisible” shit that ppl NEED to know about invisible illnesses. While you may not be able to “see” it, it’s still real AF for the survivor and can make their life hell on earth.
the amount of times i've almost fell down from being weak in the shower is insane. I've thankfully only fallen maybe 3 times? it's sad that it's scary to shower almost every time.. especially now that I'm pregnant I always worry about falling while in the shower.

Something abled people need to understand.
Your opinion on my experience as a chronically ill person when you are not chronically ill, is about as valid as my opinion on your pain if I hit you in the face. BECAUSE I’M NOT THE ONE EXPERIENCING IT.
If you have never experienced it, you will NEVER understand it.
So shut up about any kind of silver lining, cause if there is one, you’re the last one who could point it out.
Your opinion is invalid.
Me: I have a chronic, progressive disease, that has no cure.
Ignorant person: Just have faith, don't be so negative.
People who use the word “literally“ for something that can’t be literal is the reason I want man kind to be extinct.
nothings real dude not even grammer we made it up man go outside
Why I stand with Planned Parenthood
Multiple gynos refused me an IUD because “oh, it hurts so much to put in when you’ve had kids! We don’t want to put you in pain!!”
I was at a 7-9 on the pain scale regularly for my periods, and the docs were determined to make me run the gauntlet.
“But what about the pill?”
“Symptom-swap.”
“Have you thought about depo?”
“Mood drop.”
“And the patch?”
“Family history of breaking out in rashes.”
“Well, what about the nuva ring?”
“How will that NOT give me the same symptom-swap issues?”
“…”
“Look, I’m in pain so bad I wake up in the middle of the night. I’m in pain so bad I didn’t know I had appendecitis. I need SOMETHING.”
“Have you tried an ibuprofen protocol?”
“YES.”
“There are yoga poses that help with cramping.”
“I can’t uncurl from the ball of pain I’m in. How the hell am I supposed to hold position?”
“Well, how much caffeine do you drink? That could be a factor.”
“I have three cups of coffee a day and drink lots of water.”
And so on.
Then, one day, I made an appointment and went to Planned Parenthood.
“Yeah. Hi. I have incredibly painful periods that are fucking crippling me, and I need an IUD.”
“Okay. Do you have a chart of your periods I can look at?”
“Yup.”
“Okay. Looks like you have regular, heavy periods where the pain is worsening. Is that right?”
“Yup. And the fatigue. And the mood swings. And all of it.”
“Fatigue and mood swings, too?”
“Yup.”
“…is there any history of endometriosis in your family?”
“Yup. I’ve never been diagnosed, though. They say it takes a biopsy.”
“The biopsy can confirm tissue, but if you don’t have excess tissue, it doesn’t really help. You can have endo without excess tissue.”
“Okay. So, what are my options?”
“I suggest Mirena. Paraguard can make period symptoms worse even though it’s got no hormones while Mirena has a low-dose hormone that should help with all your pain and other issues. Here’s all the info on both of them. Here are models of both of them. Why don’t you take everything with you, read through it, then call if you have any questions? We can go ahead and schedule for insertion before you leave, and you can just call and say which type you want after you’ve read up. Is that okay?”
“…Yeah. That’s. That’s fine.”
“Do you have any questions right now?”
“Um, I got told a bunch I shouldn’t get an IUD because the insertion will hurt too much because I haven’t had kids.”
“Looking at the pain you’re usually in, I think you can handle it. It will definitely hurt, but it should only last about twenty seconds.”
“Twenty seconds?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve been refused the best option for dealing with my symptoms because of TWENTY SECONDS?!”
“Sadly, we hear that a lot.”
Planned Parenthood treated me like a PERSON who was in pain, not a walking uterus bitching and moaning about womanly things. Planned Parenthood showed me respect and kindness and respected the knowledge I brought of my own medical history to the conversation. Planned Parenthood respected my autonomy where other doctors rarely had and paid attention when I explained why I felt the IUD was the best choice. Planned Parenthood showed me I mattered, and I want to show how much they matter to me.
^ the difference between a person’s symptoms being diminished versus believed.
honestly do u ever get to a point with a friend where u just realize “holy shit I don’t actually like you, like, at all”
this happens to me frequently. i often feel bad about it, but i've realized i don't need to carry on friendships just because "we have mutual friends" or "we've known each other for so long." those reasons aren't valid reasons for having a friendship.

Ok but where is this from
Her name’s Marianne, she’s a Samburu woman and the Supalake village chairlady. It’s from The Land of No Men: Inside Kenya’s Women-Only Village and that convo is at 22:16, but the entire video is awesome!
