A plastic folding chair in the shower, compression gloves for my arthritic wrists, small pill containers that I can fill and take with me in my purse(of course), lots of notebooks and planners that I can write down what I need to remember plus I can plan out what I need to do and mete it out over the week so that I am not overdoing it, lots of rice socks including one that I can put on my eyes, the ability to message my doctors offices through patient portals or front office messaging text numbers, a really good support system and tons and tons of prayer! I know that's a lot. I hope something in here helps you. 💕 Be strong! You're amazing! 🫂

I'm on so many medications and I got sick of sorting them every week, so I ordered a device that I pay around $20 (I think it recently went up) a month for called Hero. I can set it up to go off when it is time to take my meds and it dispenses them for me. I used to dread med sort nights especially if I wasn't feeling well and now I don't have to worry about it and it tells me when my meds are getting low.

Heating pads. And lots of apps to remind me to do things, one for my meds, one for my to-do list, and one to keep moving.

I have diabetic neuropathy so use horse chestnut to aide in circulation. Also, butter melon aides in managing blood sugars and also helps with circulation. I'm a truck driver so I sit for up to 14 hours a day, cankles are a big issue.
