Need to take a shower, but I'm scared if stand in the shower I'll pass out?

[Anonymous]

I have this bug that everyone is getting where you're just constantly throwing up, and all you do is lay in bed and drink water/Gatorade.
I think it seems childish to have someone help me, but I've passed out once before in the shower and almost broke my neck. My joints feel like they can break at any moment. Any advice?

--Skip it! You're sick, wait til you're better. It's not the end of the world, I promise
--If you do, don't use hot water, just warm. You're much more likely to pass out in a hot shower than a cooler one.
--Take a bath instead, unless maybe you don't have a bathtub in your home?
--Take a 'hooker bath.' Ie, wash your important bits standing at the sink

Novo virus by any chance I had this dont be stupid and put your life at risk stay in bed and wash when your well its common sense really

You should have someone help you in the shower. Have someone in your family make sure you're okay while you're washing off. If anything serious does happen, then they'll help you and make sure nothing real bad happens.

Maybe put water in a basin and wash off that way to your able to
get in the shower that's called Sponge Bathing i do that lot if I am
too sick to get bath.
I hope you feel better :-)))

Whenever I think of sponge bathing it reminds me of the scene in Scary Movie 3 where the lady gets distracted and dips the sponge in the bucket with the old lady's urine then squeezes it all over her xD

Stay in bed kid. Fester in your stink till you feel better. Then shower and wash your linens to lol.
But seriously stay in bed drink clear fluids and rest. The stink can wait

If you're feeling faint and are worried you'll fall or pass out then you probably shouldn't risk it. And having someone help you in the shower would be pretty awkward/embarrassing in my opinion.

would having a bath work? just make sure the water is lower than your nose when laying down and you have a puke bucket next to the tub. good luck.

Put as chair in the shower if it's possible.
Otherwise don't go in by yourself.
You have the flu!

[whattothink]

You are sick. Once I had the flu and didn't bathe for 5 days.

Don't take a shower. You're sick, no one will care.

Just stay in bed and get better no need to push yourself until you get better.
