I think anyone telling me I had to shower every day, I would not want to do it. Like in the hospital they come in hand you towels and say ok shower time....why the heck, I am sick in hospital the shower helps HOW?
It takes a lot of emotional energy, and physical desire to get showers.....
I still bargin, I am not shaving the legs for the winter and if I want, I will wash the hair later.
Getting out of the shower wet and dressing is one thing, dealing with the hair at that moment is another.
I do like my bubble baths, too.
So many of the meds can and do cause the medical problems. Many of those symptoms can be from meds....Flash back to doc, well if I take these meds and feel even worse, what makes you think a shower a day is going to make me feel better. I would feel better, IF I COULD FEEL BETTER>

Oh wow...I hope I remember to tell her if the medications don't make me feel better, how will a daily shower,morning walk and changing into new clothes will make me feel better. ..and then add that the pressure she is creating for me is making me feel worse. it is not supportive. I don't know. Maybe she should be creative and just find ways of being supportive to me.
I also keep my apartment on the cold side so that is another thing about taking a daily washing. I usually just want to crawl back into bed.
I so badly want to be productive again. I also want to warn people about the dangers of all these medications and it is appearing they have caused more problems than helped. Being this fat now is so bad for my self esteem besides energy level. I don't have a sense of humor about it. ...more like rage.
