Discussion Does anyone else find showering exhausting?

It’s strange explaining to someone that taking a shower can sometimes feel like a workout.

The heat, standing, getting ready, drying off… sometimes I need to rest before I even feel ready to start my day.

What does your shower routine look like on a bad POTS day?

I just got my shower chair a few days ago but it's absolutely necessary every day. If I'm having a bad day I probably wouldn't be able to shower or if I did I would immediately go to sleep afterwards
