Is it because:
- it wipes me out just to prep for a shower; gathering towels, setting up the shower chair, fetching shampoo or soap, disrobing, combing out my hair, etc
 - i hate showering in a shower chair; spots get missed
 - it uses up tons of spoons to get clean; all that scrubbing and hair washing
 - i now have to shampoo my hair several times to get all the oil out of it
 - i have to use all sort of concoctions to get rid of the armpit stink
 - i almost alway run out of hot water before I'm finished
 - i can't reach everywhere that needs soap
 - the cat is slowly ripping apart my scrubbie and I keep forgetting to buy a new one
 - i can never dry myself off very well because I'm sitting on the edge of the tub while toweling off
 - combing my hair out makes my arms ache
 - my hair takes forever to dry
 - i only smell/look good for about 24 hours but can only shower once or twice a week i.e. it is an enormous exercise in futility
 - i don't want to undress in the cold
 
That about covers it.  And yes I really should be in the shower right now instead of writing about how much I don't want to shower.
Awh, bless you! I have ME/CFS but it's really good to read your story!
