yes. washing my hair was very exhausting. I have just let the showerhead beat the creme rinse out. You must get a stand for your hairdryer.

I have dropped the curling iron out of my hand when I'd raise my hand up. I burnt my leg a couple of times and decided to quit using those.

I have let my hair grow longer so I could pull it back or up and maybe look okay without washing it.

and hot baths and showers, I couldn't have made it without those. heat does promote swelling of tissues on a microscopic basis, though. that could increase tingling. I have turned the hot water down a run cold water shower on my lower back especially, for 5 or 8 tolerable minutes. Use heavy robs to absorb water. couldn't towel dry for a long time either.

do you have any neck issues? ... causes tingling too. carpal tunnel? tennis elbow?

I have to keep my upper body snuggly warm or pain level WILL increase. otherwise it's very tolerable. amazing.

(I don't use a heating pad anymore burnt 3 out)
