Shower Chairs!! Honest to God to just sit and enjoy the water without having to struggle up from the floor (which for me personally laying on the floor can make the Bad Feelings worse) Is soo nice. Into baths? Get a soft bath mat to lay on and a bath pillow, hard tubs can hurt.

Agree on shower chairs 100%. Every household should have one. I have MS and use one (with a back) on severe fatigue days.

I started having balance issues several months back, because I refuse to see a Dr more than once a year, I don’t know why. But I got a shower chair for safety. Also I have horrible body odor (to me) if I don’t bathe at least every other day. (Familial, my sister buys some expensive body deodorant stuff for the problem).

Obviously up to you, but it might be a good idea to see a doctor more often when you're having new symptoms. Even if it's just telehealth visits. Sudden balance issues could be serious.

Oh, I agree. I just hate Doctors and the cost. Also I don’t have a car, so I have to find a ride there and back. Then there are the tests, and after all that, he will say “It’s cuz your old” or something like that. I am not worried about it.

My house has a handicap accessible shower in it from the previous owner and I’m so grateful for it.
