Quote from: PorkeSame issue here! I also cannot tolerate very hot showers. They normally make me feel very foggy / lethargic the entire day. Quote from: demografxSame here!!We may be on to something.I thought about mentioning my intolerance for hot showers when I first went on this site over a year ago,but I thought it may be just me on here that had this problem and it may not be related to POIS for most people here since I couldn't find anyone else mentioning the same problem. Glad to know I'm not alone! Whats odd is that being out on a very hot day for hours doesn't seem to be much a problem for me,but taking a 10 minute hot shower can make me miserable for days after. I'd be curious to know how many people on this forum have Pois and sensitivity to Hot showers/bath.If the majority do, this information might be of great value once we get the funds for Nord to do research.

I have the same problem as you & the a few others here. I have a number of chemical sensitivities and chlorine was one that I had a high reaction to when tested at a environmental clinic. I can tell the difference between tap water and purified & filtered water. I don't drink water out of the tap anymore. I feel really sick if I swim in a chlorinated swimming pool and especially so if I use a spa. The hotter you have your shower the more chlorine you inhale and absorb through your skin. If you still want to have your hot showers in winter and you want to reduce feeling not so good for the rest of the day, you might want to buy a shower filter that takes care of chlorine. Read up on chlorine and its effects on health, on some reputatable web sites and see what you think.I also feel wrecked on hot humid days and my pois symptoms are not as bad for me in winter, in this case though I thought my heat intolerance was related to my low hgh levels.
POISon,That's exactly what the surveys are going to be all about!ted.

@ Porke,I usually get a horrible sore throat,severe fatigue,chest pains,brainfog, dizziness,heat flashes, extreme calm followed by anxiety, and muscle spasms,especially in the upper arm area after a hot shower. I think in our cases they are related. My theory is that heat and POIs trigger an immune response which triggers an over/under reaction of the HPA axis.People on this site may have different reasons,however for the way they act after having an O,since every bodies system is different. I'll have to take a look at that Myhill site,looks pretty interesting.@ Habibou and people wishing to try Acetyl-L-Carnitine(Alcar)I bought Swanson's premium brand 500 milligram Acetyl-l-carnitine and their Alpha Lipoic acid in the 600 mg.I would probably have gone with the 300 though since the 600 seems to strong. I'm not a rep nor do I own stock in Swansons,though I probably should since I buy so much from them,but they are usually the cheapest and also the best quality. Believe it or not,buying the right brand can mean the difference between not noticing any effect, having side effects,or actually producing the positive effects you're looking for.Once you start feeling a difference with the Alpa Lipoc and Acety-l-Carnitine combo you may find yourself wanting to drastically lower the dose of the Alpha Lipoic acid or drop it completely and stick with just the Alcar. Thats what I'm doing right now and its working better for me since the Alpha Lipoic acid over time was adding agitation.I think once the body has accumulated enough Alcar in the bloodstream increasing its effect too much by continuing with the Alpha Lipoic acid will start to cause side effects such as moderate agitation.Again, that's my experience and everyone's body is different.
I'm curious to know how many people on this forum have had teeth removed or wore braces?
