Hello friends,
After I take a hot shower or visit a sauna, I tend to feel significantly better for about 20 minutes. Symptoms like pain, headaches and a flu-like feeling almost completely disappear. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I know many people with ME/CFS have issues with heat.
I suspect that I might have a problem with my blood vessels, which expand in heat, potentially improving blood flow. Has anyone had positive experiences with vasodilators? I have an appointment with my GP next week and I'm considering suggesting a medication for trial. Nimodipine has come up in my preliminary search and I intend to try it out. Does anyone else know of medications that could be beneficial? Ideally, ones supported by studies, even if they're related to long Covid. My doctor isn't very open to experimentation, so I usually need a study to persuade him.
Thanks in advance
