I love to get into my bathtub and I heat my water to 40 degrees Celsius, wich I just looked up, is about 104 degrees Farenheit.
While in the tub (minimum one hour) the water cooles down to 37 degrees, that feels way to cold for me

I haven't had any issues using our hot tub (104 degrees). I usually stretch, do lunges and row in the hot tub for 20-30 minutes and always feel better afterwards. Never thought the high temp could be a problem with PCS.

I love hot showers, they relax my computer neck muscles and I assumed improved blood flow. I've heard cooling the body can be beneficial in some brain injury but the temperature has to be dangerously low. I guess just use common sense regarding temperature.

PCS can cause autonomic disturbances so body temperature regulation, pulse rate and breathing can be affected. This is controlled mainly by the brainstem so a whiplash type injury could do this. For many months I had a problem with overheating while sleeping, I'd wake drenched in sweat, and even now my pulse has only just gone back to where it was before my injury.

Actually a study showed that mild TBI brains are cooler than normal. 104 degrees! And you get away with it?

If you each would, please direct me to where your stories,updates etc. are threaded.

Super E,

Interesting mention about the pulse.

My blood pressure went up 20 points post injury. Sometime between a doc appt in November and another in December it dropped back to my historical figure where t remains....16 months post injury.

Heads sure take the cake for strange recovery.
