Shower Fail!

[naomi_jay]

So, I totally fainted in the shower yesterday. One minute I'm washing my hair, the next my vision goes, and then suddenly it's five minutes later and I'm sprawled on the bedroom floor mumbling incoherantly while Kyle tries to get me upright. Ha ha, I'm so crazy! Dunno what happened. I can only assume it was my body's way of telling me that hot showers + no food = fail. I spent the rest of the day curled up in bed eating chocolate and watching TNA, which seems to have fixed me, although I am now morbidly afraid of locking (or even closing!) the bathroom door while I'm in the shower.

Anyway, I'll have a guest blog for you all later today. Stay tuned!

Sounds scary! Does this mean you'll be having breakfast before a shower from now on?

Breakfast AND lunch - it was about 2 in the afternoon when I finally dragged myself to the shower yesterday to begin with!

Oh jeez, glad to hear that you're okay.

On the upside, you now have a legitimate reason to demand Twirls at work.

I didn't think of that! Yay!

How frightening!

Are you feeling okay now?

[naomi-jay.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I felt fine after a few minutes of sitting still and drinking. Just a freak thing, I guess!

Might have been that the water was too hot - I once fainted after getting out of a hot bath so it does happen.

That's what I'm thinking - I do tend to have stupidly hot showers.

OMG, that's so scary! Glad you're okay now. Be careful, chicky! :)

[naomi-jay.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) I've been fine since, so hopefully it won't be the start of a trend!

[craving-vintage.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! That's good. :)

Naomi, gosh, I'm glad you're okay. This sounds really scary. You poor thing. Really hot showers without eating first do have a tendency to make you feel a little ill. :/

Yes, I think it was entirely self-inflicted! Good thing I wasn't alone in the house really, lol.

Yikes! I've fainted at a gig: brought on by standing for too long in a room that was too hot, and being dehydrated due to stupid policies about not taking water into the venue (£3 for still water? Fail!).

This time of year, a cold/flu/sinus crap can just make it all worse. I feel faint or dizzy sometimes after a hot bath.

Perhaps joint showers are the way to go?

Perhaps joint showers are the way to go?

Yes... purely as a safety precaution...

I am now morbidly afraid of locking (or even closing!) the bathroom door while I'm in the shower.

I don't do either. I also try to only shower when hubby is at home and/or my iPhone is within reach.

Yeah, I'm very rarely alone in the house, so I think I'm safe! And when I am alone, I tend to leave the doors open anyway, so fingers crossed I'm prepared in case of a repeat!
