Summary
Canyon 87475 was ill with ME/CFS enough that they had to lie down in a towel on the bed for an hour after a shower and rest on and off while dressing. By late February 2026 they had bought a shower bench and could sit to dry, sit on the bed to dress and then go downstairs, no longer needing to lie down afterwards, and calling it a big win. They still rested between each step.

- anti fungal body wash · Not said
I currently use an anti fungal one because I find I need to wash my pits like three times for them not to smell!
