I crank it up as hot as it will go. My skin is fucked but at least I get to be warm for a while.

    Sounds very painful. Unless you have shit temperature as your hot.

    It's just short of painful if I work up to it but I've built up a tolerance to it.

    Sounds like coffee or beer. It's actually disgusting but "you just gotta LEARN TO LIKE IT". 🙃

    It's better than the alternative of experiencing even a moment of cold

    I think you're overreacting to the cold but that's just me. Just gotta breathe through it a few seconds, then your body gets used to it. You shouldn't need hotter water than skin temp lol. I usually go a little warmer than that though.

    For sure, but it's not something I can power through. I think there's something wrong with my body's ability to regulate my temperature. If I get cold even if it's just a little bit then I can't warm up for hours and I'm miserable. If I make the shower as hot as can be then I can dry off before I cool down below room temp and not end up chilled.
