Just kidding, lol. Maybe you should try getting one of those shower chairs then you could sit down the whole time. Just a thought... now I'm going to go get in the shower... REALLY... lol. Take care!

I get really dizzy when I close my eyes, so I have to hang onto something, but I would rather shower. > And, yes, they do have dry hair washing shampoos out there. I used it when I had my decompression surgery. I am so sorry, but I don't remember the name. I live in Wisconsin and my sister got it for me at a Sally Hansen store. She does the nail care and such. Also, you could call around to the department stores and ask if they carry it. I know for a fact it's out there. > Take Care!!! > Sheila from Wisconsin > Diane Wetzel wrote: > I would love some feedback on this. I was just wondering, for those with ACM, which bathing mathod you prefer? Showering or bathing? Sometimes when I'm in the bath tub, I feel like my vertigo is going on a rampage, then its' difficult to get out because I don't have rails. Sometimes when I'm in the shower, I feel like the constant heat/steam contributes to my dizziness, so I go back & forth betweeen bathing & showering. What is easiest for everyone? Also, can someone recommend, if there is any such thing, an over the counter dry shampoo? I figure the less time I have to take bathing, the better. Thanks! > Take care, > Diane > > http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=moongems > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
