Summary
Living with CFS, this person said keeping up with hygiene was hard, scrubbing with washcloths on bad days and washing their hair separately from showering. They used dry shampoo, clarifying shampoos and a cornstarch baby powder on the chest, which they said definitely helped. They had oily skin and noted chronic fatigue can bring sweating and temperature changes.
