Default Hey Erin,

When I do think it's going to cause me a bit of MS weirdness, I will turn the hot water down just before getting out and make sure that it's a lot cooler and rinse off with the cooler water just before stepping out.

Tomorrow, our new bathroom will be totally finished (been waiting for the grout in the tile to dry) and I'm all excited about the chance to use a bathtub for the first time in months. (it's got jacuzzi jets! ) But, I'm not going to do a steaming hot bath. I'm planning on a warm bath.

The new tub is really cool. Ever see the commercials for the Indugleabath tubs? That's what it is. Nice seat, jacuzzi jets, and I bought a brand new rubber ducky a week or two ago to play with in the tub. I'm excited!
Congrats on the new jacuzzi tub! I am happy for you!

I think that an infection/virus/bacteria/sickness, which leads to an increase in body temp . . . WILL affect inflammation, especially if we have spinal lesions. I ALWAYS treat a fever with reducers, then try to figure out the source of the increase to treat the underlying cause.

Hot water doesn't bother me in the longer run, but I don't like some of the s/t symptoms it brings on; body fatigue, lack of coordination, buzzing sensations, sleepiness. Those sensations are much less troublesome then what I get from being cold though, so I often take a hot shower to "warm up my bones". I don't do hot tubs any more though.

The room is almost finished. The tub is all done, still have to wait for the sealant to dry. (cant use the tub till tuesday)

We're just waiting on the toilet that will be a matching color to the tub and tile, and the exciting part about the toilet, is that it's the kind that can suck down a bucket of ping pong balls. (just the balls, not the bucket)

I have pictures of what it looks like now with the bright white toilet with almond colored tub, tile and sink...but the room looks great. We just need to do some re-painting on the walls. The people who did all the work were amazingly careful with not screwing up the paintjob on the walls.

Even the nutjob who installed the tub was careful...he was nuts, because he would freak if we looked at him. He claimed that if we watched him, he'd hurt himself...and he didnt want to do that, so we couldnt watch him work. He was really insane.
