When I went home I turned the airconditioner on, ceiling fan on and sat for a while til I cooled down. Took a Valium. After sitting for 30-45 minutes I started to feel better. Then I took a lukewarm shower. I'm finding out that hot showers are NOT a good thing to do anymore. That is another thing I'm discovering.... Why is that also a bad thing? Is that another trigger? Is this all in my head???

I do lukewarm showers, too. Anything that raises my body temp is not good.

It's hard to not do the things you used to enjoy and just be a spectator when you're used to participating. It's something we've all had to come to terms with and adjust to the best we can.

Some of us (me included) still attempt to do some things we know will induce symptoms. Sometimes I think we convince ourselves that at some point we'll be able to do these things again. Wishful thinking!

Hot showers are not good as they relax your muscles, etc. even more. You have to be very careful about that. I do lukewarm showers and that is fine. My muscles are relaxed already as are other peoples muscles who have NMD. Some people it doesn't bother and others have to be careful. You don't want to end up falling for example. It's also hard to feel how warm the water is at times. But it is doable.

It's the same when I soak my feet in Epsom Salt. Lukewarm water, not hot.
