I am a 49-year-old woman. I’ve likely had Crohn’s since I was a child but I was diagnosed in my 20s. I do know heat is involved, but I have tried cold and cool showers and it still happens. When I don’t wash my hair, it’s not as bad, but after showering, I am exhausted for about an hour. I just need to go sit or lie down. Does anyone else have this issue? It is markedly worse if the shower is hot and or if I wash my hair. It is worse in the summer and much worse if I actually use a blow dryer to dry my hair, even if it’s on the cool setting. Obviously this has something to do with the heat, and I do keep the heat to a minimum, but what is this?
