Just had a Shower, Eeekkk.

So I had a shower about 20 mins ago, no bother or any trouble at all. Then I started drying myself off and........ a massive wave of Fatigue, Doom and Dread suddenly washed over me from out of nowhere. Mostly subsided now apart from it still feels like I'm carrying a Tree Trunk on the back of my neck. I've had some milder experiences of this kind of thing before but, jeeeeeeez this was out of this galaxy.

Hello @peterfrancis, it’s scary, right? I’m exactly the same, not TIL the point of drying.....over time, I’ve learnt the knack of getting around it. Shorter, slightly cooler showers or baths. Buy yourself a cosy towelling robe so that on the occasions it’s bad, you can put a robe on rather than dry yourself. Always tell someone when you’re in the bath so they can check you’re OK. This happened to my sister once who also has MS and she was sapped of energy and counldnt get out! By the way, I have noticed if I’m under the weather or having a flare up, it feels much worse. Kind of exaggerated. Anyways, you’re not alone with this weirdness!

Hi all I can't remember what it called but it something like lermeatts phenomenon. I'm sure @stumbler will know, you need to let yourself cool down. It'll go away quicker. Don't panic Mr mannering!
