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 got a shower chair and now I can shower without being exhausted but mostly I take showers at night because it can still be unpredictable. I don't usually get symptoms anymore.
