I'm not sure if I should continue with this or not!  |
Advice - Do not, I repeat DO NOT continue with the showers if your having circulation problems as you are. The numbness in the fingers and toes is a sign that your body is shutting down the blood supply to them and cannot cope with the cold.
Not only is this bad for your fingers and toes (no blood, no life energy) but its bad for you on a morale point of view too. You'll think 'but in a situation where there is no hot water...'
Just let me tell you this. When there is no plumbing, no luxuries, you'll heat water in a pot, pour some into a bowl, add a bit of cold water and sponge clean yourself. With WARM water.
