I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with bathing. I'd talk to your doctor about maybe getting an eval by an OT. They can help figure out what you need based on your disability.

Bathing was one of the first areas that I noticed my weakness. Now that I'm on Metsinon I can tell when I need to take a pill based on how easy it is for me to get out of the tub. I usually just sit in the tub, but I could see where a shower chair would be helpful. As would a flexible sprayer for your shower...you know the kind you can move around. I'd see about getting a grab bar too.

I have found that I have to break my hygiene routine up over several days. lol It's not as bad as it sounds. I usually wash my hair every other or every third day. At my age it isn't very oily anymore, so I can do this. I also shave my legs once or twice a week, less in the winter. I try not to wash my hair or shave my legs on the same day. That wears me out!

I also don't always take a full bath or shower every day. Some days I just do a quick soap up of my private parts and under the arms. I know TMI, but that's what I do. I figure those are the most important and hardest to get to areas. I can soap up my arms and face at the sink.

Well, that's probably more than you cared to hear, but this has been an issue for me for some time and this is how I'm dealing with it.

Good luck!
