Hi

I moved into my home from DV refuge last year and I only have a bath. I've had council out twice now as I'm desperate for a shower becaus i struggle and they won't help me. They've told me to "flannel wash"! I've been diagnosed with chronic pain syndrome and I have MH problems too. My hygiene isn't as it should be due to not being able to get in and out bath due to pain and mobility, which then affects my mental health and triggers other problems. I can't bend over a sink to wash my hair either. It's a vicious circle. My five year old son is also autistic and my three year old is scared of the bath due to me trying to pick him up once and hurting myself. I've tried everything and I've been fobbed off. What can I do? Thanks
