General cold / flu virus thing. Just realised I haven't had a shower since Wednesday morning. That's properly grim given the amount I've been sweating. I can't face it now either. What's the longest you've been without a shower. Make me feel better?!

Had a hot bath and washed hair tonight. Last had a hot shower/bath Monday just gone 🤷

Once, i didn't shower for four days. It was a few years back when, like you, I had flu. I could hardly get out of bed and even then I couldn't stand up, I could only crawl.

I also had the cold sweats to the point the bedclothes were drenched (fortunately, I routinely use a mattress protector) I didn't see the point in showering, even if I'd been able, because I didn't have the strength to change the sheets. It would have been pointless anyway because they'd have been saturated and I'd have been back to square one again within half an hour. I usually shower at least once a day. It felt seriously revolting.

Hope you feel better soon. Have a nice hot whisky and lemon. You'll still feel rubbish but at least you won't care as much.

Over a week. Also had the flu and kept fainting so didn't dare risk a shower.

I used baby wipes to freshen up and managed a wash over the sink.

I'm down with tonsillitis right now and it had been five days. Hoping to get in the shower tomorrow because I feel grubby.

You aren't too bad really. I held off for 9 days when I had flu. When I finally surfaced it took me 3hrs to sort out my matted hair...I'd been sweating so much Confused

So dont feel too bad. It happens and rest is more important! Hope you feel better soon. Xmas Smile

Like five days, in hospital doing the wet wipe thing.

I'm just getting over the cold, coinciding with my period, just in time for three massive Christmas events next week. Xmas Hmm Hope you feel better soon.

Had a shower and washed my hair! I feel so much better for it.

About 2 weeks Envy
I had 2 slipped discs and could barely move to go to the toilet. I slept downstairs for those 2 weeks aswell as I couldn’t bend my legs enough to get up the stairs!
