I shower, I wash my hair, I even dye it—it doesn't matter to me one bit.

I actually asked my grandmother about this, and she told me the old-school rule isn't that you can't wash at all, just that you shouldn't take full baths; apparently, quick showers are fine according to those old folk remedies. ☕

Look, regardless of what anyone says, I physically cannot bring myself to shower during those first two days of my period. At that point, I don't even have the mental capacity to handle two basic steps, let alone navigate my way around the bathroom.
I suffer from endometriosis, so the cramps I deal with are absolutely debilitating... they completely wipe me out. It’s gotten to the point where I actually pass out sometimes, so honestly, I rarely manage to get up at all.

Whether it's true or not, I just can't deal with it... if I go more than three days without washing my hair and taking a shower, I lose my mind. It’s absolutely unthinkable to me.

Every single time I end up in the ER, they just pop an IV bag into me and everything starts fading out... but you have to pass out first before it actually kicks in 😁

Even if you aren't feeling any pain, go get a urine culture done.

I try to get in about 2 to 3 liters of fluids a day... honestly, I think my biggest issue is dealing with anemia. My hands and feet are perpetually freezing, and when my legs get cold, they start burning like crazy. I don't even bother getting up during the night because that’s the only time I finally manage to warm myself up from head to toe... does that sound like it could just be the temperature?

So, I’ve got a situation here that’s driving me absolutely insane. I am dealing with this constant, relentless urge to urinate—it feels like I’m running to the bathroom every thirty minutes, if not even sooner than that. It’s becoming a total nightmare. About two weeks ago, the exact same thing started happening, and it lasted for a few days. Things seemed to settle down after that, and I was only heading to the restroom every couple of hours, but now? Now it’s back with a vengeance, and I’m practically sprinting to the toilet every twenty minutes. To be clear, I’m not experiencing any pain, stinging, or burning during the process or anything like that; there's just no discomfort, which makes the sheer frequency of it all even more frustrating. It’s just this endless, constant need.
Has anyone else dealt with this exact same issue or something similar???
