Daffodil Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I think I have mentioned before that i am really feeling the cold post SAH. I was a chilly thing before it occurred and now I'm like a little block of ice. A friend suggested a trip for a sauna or hot tub might help and I wondered if any members have any experience using them post SAH. I used to enjoy a sauna pre head pop but confess to being a little unsure as to whether it's a good idea now. I can't see any contra indications and will of course check with my neuro nurses and GP but do any of you dip your chilly feet in a hot tub? Does it help?

Gill C Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Daff I found hot tubs fine but I can't manage the sauna, my scalp felt tight & horrible so I only lasted a few minutes in there. I don't think there is any reason you can't try it & see how you get on. I was told I could do anything that made me more relaxed so unless you have an underlying problem such as high bp I would say its ok. I would still recommend that you check with your GP or neuro nurse to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryB Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Daff, I have for years been stiff and sore with my fibro and then I tense up from cold. I take sometimes 2 hot baths a day when I cannot get warm. I get over heated in hot tubs when I have the chance to use them. Maryb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi K Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hi Daffodil, I have a hot tub and its fine. Neuro told me to stay out of hottub and hot baths for the first month post SAH but after that it was ok. Sandi K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffodil Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Mary I too have been taking hot baths to warm up. Sandi if only you were closer I could sneak in your hot tub, hang on though you get LOTS of snow so maybe not :lol:Win. I chuckled at the picture you drew for us! Thanks all.
