Summary
Tulip 12033, who suspected they had CFS and was waiting for a doctor's appointment, found that showers wiped them out and needed an hour lying down afterwards. Sitting in the shower with cooler water, better ventilation and a cold finish made the day much better. They had also used Michael Sealey hypnosis sessions for six years for anxiety, insomnia and pain.
