I also immmedialtely go sit under a ceiling fan/ac or somewhere cool until I recover. Sometimes that may be 10 minutes or maybe an hour. But I usually take a bath while am at home and I don't care that all I have on is a light gown. I have an old recliner in the living room that I have sat in quite often while I am still a little wet.

As far as a hot tub, we went to Gatlinburgh one time in October and I enjoyed the outdoor hottub at the hotel at midnight. The hot tub was hot but the air was quite cool. My sister has a hot tub spa room with windows that she cranks open in the winter. So I get in it with her only in the late fall and winter.

When I went to South Dakota last April, the hotel my boyfriend and I stayed in had a really nice hot tub. I was able to get in it and sit in water up to my neck and it didnt really bug me much except that I'd get a little fuzzy vision in my left eye. I do think that's my last time in a public swimming pool or hot tub tho. I think I got something icky from either the hot tub (swimming in primordial ooze, or epithelial cell soup) or from the swimming pool. (Water was cloudy, and overly chlorinated)

Now I dont get the fuzzy vision in the left eye. I get mildly distorted vision in the right eye. I can deal with a little cloudy vision more than I can with exhaustion or massively horrible numbness.
