Anyone find hot baths make them feel worse?

I find after a hot bath it really spikes my sx and I feel more head pressure and dizzy.

Does anyone else experience an increase in sx after a hot bath?

YES! My wife is always trying to get me to take a hot bath when I am having bad anxiety in the evening. It make me way more jittery and makes me sweat and feel like crap. It was worse earlier in the taper when I was on a higher dose, I had no or altered sensation in my skin and shower or bath felt awful. When I got to about 5mg or less my normal sensation returned and now on a good day it feels good, but if I am having a tough time, which I have been the past 2 months, it makes it worse.

Yes I feel those feelings but I also get relief from the achiness so it's a catch 22  :crazy:

 

I make sure I lie down for a few minutes after...

yeah ruby,

 

For now I take warm showers or sit on floor of shower with bowl and spray hose. I don't stay in or under the running water. My heart rate goes up, I get light headed the blood vessels get opened wider, heart pumps faster. This one cause. Staying hydrated really helps prior to bathing.

I had burning skin as one of my sx, and found that taking a warm bath sort of hurt my skin.

 

I haven't had one in a while, but I think at this point, I would be fine. Shows how time really does heal.

They make me more tired as dizzy. Even hot showers do too. I always go stand by an open window and feel the cool air and perk up.

I get dressed first... :laugh:
