Summary
After two years, Comet 95347 was not completely healed but living relatively normally again, writing in December 2023. Cold baths of 5-10 minutes could help when their body was warm or hot; using a pulse oximeter to track the effect helped them stop interpreting each attack as the end of the world. They avoided the baths on days when their blood pressure was very high.

- cold bath · Helped
a cold bath of 5-10 minutes will help ... I absolutely avoided doing this because then it was counterproductive
In context ↗ - pulse oximeter · Helped
Tracking it via the pulse oximeter gives you the security ... This helped me a lot to stop interpreting every attack as the end of the world.
