Hot water helps me deal with pain ,something to do with circulation my doctor says .
Most people who are hurting I ask did they try a hot shower or bath and most tell me it never helps them ,but I swear by it .
I even have a solar water heater and lots of ways to boil water just in the event hot water is not readily available .
When all hell is breaking lose as long as I can take a few hot showers a day I will be fine .
If I ever get where I can't ,well I may think of ending my pain again ,when I can't function I get like that .
But on days pain meds just don't seem to work hot showers do ,
The effects don't last long ,but I appreciate the relief I do get ,
So I get how they can be therapeutic ,
When I was a drinker and a hang over was kicking my butt ,hot baths seemed to help with that too .
I hear its called Hydrotherapy ,whatever its called it seems to help me
