Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 That would have depressed me I think and I bet it did bring you down a little bit. The only thing that this MS cannot touch is your SPIRIT and your own ability to ENJOY the things that life has to offer. A rainbow after a downpour, the kiss of a child with a messy face, making cookies, giving someone you love a hug, a new bottle of your favorite perfume, an unexpected surprise, a good book, favorite movie, receiving praise, and heaps of other small things that makes a big difference. Of course if these things all fail to make you count your blessings, next time yell to someone to bring you some veggies and a chicken and make yourself into soup. I'm sorry, thats the picture I got in my head LOL. No more hot baths. Anita Sorrells wrote: I just have to share.....how much I miss my bath time. Tonight after the kids had went to bed, and vefore the husband came home from work, I thought I would enjoy a nice warm bubble bath. Problem is I got it too warm, and then couldn't get back out. So there I sat in my now cold bath water, wondering when I would get my legs and arms back UGGGHHHH Does this disease leave any area of human life Untouched?????

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I take long hot baths ... consequences be dammed! I need the down time and besides, I am going to bed anyway ... ;-) The burning sensation, it will not go away. It seems stronger and stronger, every day. The pain, it is intense. This illness, doesn't make any sense. http://www.mswebpals.org/amanda.htmhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Snr_Branches_Exchange/http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/CanadaMS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 i take baths too i did lower the water temp, but not to the point that it is too cold. I also do it at night so i don't need energy anyway. I am thinking of asking if i can get a bar in the bathroom( i live in an apartment) but for now i I get up to the edge of the tub and sit on that and then i can get the rest of the way up from there. all that is due to knee probs i have that are most likely not ms related. i asked my neuro and he said " you can take a bath if you want, but don't do anything that makes you feel bad " jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I love hot baths and long hot showers (when I am allowed LOL) but they do NOT like me. I go nearly blind in a hot shower and I can't get out of a hot bath. Back in the beginning of March before i was aware of just how much heat can exacerbate the symptoms, dh and I sat in a sauna on vacation. 15 minutes into it, I could not see or walk and was completely petrified. But the MS symptoms don't affect anyone the same way so in that case, you are correct "consequences be damned" LOL Reilly wrote: I take long hot baths ... consequences be dammed!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 , That reminds me of before I was diagnosed. My husband and I (dating then) would ride our bikes to the beach and cruise the boardwalk at night. I was always asking him why it was so fuggy. Now I know. Ann RE: Miss My Bath!
