It's so encouraging to see practical solutions that can make daily life a bit easier. Your openness and honesty are truly appreciated. Keep up the great work! 🌟xxx

[@LordandLordettes]

Ah, thank you so much! 😊❤️

[@roseshomestead2600]

I'm a new subscriber and you have given me lots to think about with aids around the home and I'm enjoying your daily content.✨ Thanks for the realism of fibromyalgia and as a fibro suffer of several years, I am still finding it hard pill to swallow not being able to do want I need to do everyday and asking for help, but I'm getting there. Thanks 😊

[@LordandLordettes]

@@roseshomestead2600 glad you found the video useful. 😊❤️

[@christinacorso7254]

Fantastic ideas. I like to use light fabric purses too ❤

[@erinstubbert6755]

Great tips!

[@heatherinnorfolk]

Thankyou, really helpful. Prompted me to think about what I have and I've written a list of where everything is because I forget when the pain/fatigue hits. Made me realise how much stuff goes with chronic illness!! One support I find super useful is I made a 'calm kit' in a large fold out washbag with a the useful bits. Everything from pain meds, TENS, finger supports, migrane patches, lip balm, ginger chews, face wipe, fidget toy, headband, juice carton, snack bar, mints, eye mask etc. Even little hair brush because it feels nice when have headache. This stays next to my bed and makes it easy for me to ask someone to get what I need instead of sending them rummaging in drawers! I also like usb chargable mini fans. I got a really good one from John Lewis that also folds to stand up so don't have to hold it. With recent hot weather I've got plenty of cool paks and cooling eye mask, and a brilliant cooling head wrap that covers face if pull it down. And some 'ice socks' and a cooling towel. But come autumn its all about the heat pads! I find I'm constantly reaching for cushions or yoga bolsters for support so they are scattered everywhere. I also use coccyx cushions and those wiggle cushions. Can highly recommend a kitchen stool, really helps. I have one on wheels so don't have to lift it.

[@LordandLordettes]

Thanks for the tips! 😊

[@rosieg1603]

Those push tops for the bottles in the shower are a good idea, I struggle with screw tops, will get some of those 💜

[@LordandLordettes]

Yes they are good. Search for the right ones. 😊

[@MelloolaW]

My son bought me a load of different sizes of gel packs that you can either freeze or microwave. They are very inexpensive on Amazon, and I've found them a life saver. My pain is at it's worst in hot weather, and they help me so much, especially on my hands. I didn't even think about toe supports, so thanks for that tip. My big toes have gone crooked with arthritis, so I'll be buying them immediately!

[@LordandLordettes]

That sounds like a good aid to you. I am the opposite, find it worse in the colder weather. There are a lot of toe supports so have a look through them on Amazon to get the right ome for you.

[@olesiasmith3810]

Thank you for the tips! I have a bad pain in my fingers too, sometimes I drop things, never thought about plastic caps, good idea The good tip is, that helps me is the massage pillow, helps me with back pain

[@lynnewoodby8227]

I enjoyed seeing your aids. I have a leg cushion like yours but it's in a heart shape, I use it every night, it's very important to me. I also have a heating pad but would like a larger one and I would like an electric blanket. I have never seen a tens machine but will look it up. I've been having lots of pain that moves around and am realizing that I'm not getting better so I may as well buckle down and find my own aids! I do have a recliner, chair, with heat and massage that I love and use every day

[@LordandLordettes]

I would love a heated blanket. Sometimes Aldi have them for sale in the Winter. Finding the right aids for you is important. 😊

[@carolhydon7324]

Thanks Nicky, very helpful. Had to laugh when you said bedroom aids!!! My mind went somewhere else! Definitely am getting a long handled shoe horn. Xx

[@LordandLordettes]

🤣 yes I didn't think about that! 🤦‍♀️

[@DisabledandPrepping]

Oh yes, I used to have a body pillow, and I so miss that. I'm gonna put that on my list of things to get. Oh, that reminds me in my new apartment.My toilet is super low.I mean it is very very short. And due to a medical condition I am restricted on what I can do with my right arm which is where the bar would be to help with the lower toilet. Though I'm currently trying to figure out a possible solution because the apartment building will not replace the toilet.😊

[@LordandLordettes]

Yes body pillows are the best! So comfy. That sounds a bit tricky. 🤔

[@cathie-aussiegirl6547]

Here in Australia, so I’m sure you can get them everywhere, is a Toilet Frame, and also a Toilet Booster Seat. They might also be called Toilet Safety Rails, Over Toilet Grab Rails, or just Toilet AIDS, some can be quite expensive but cheaper than a new toilet. Hope it’s helpful ❤ @disabledandprepping

[@Benulyte]

Thank you ❤ I am sure it was very informative for everyone

[@LordandLordettes]

I hope so! 😊

[@julie_uk_]

I don't seem to get notifications when you upload videos for some reason, I've got the bell clicked & 'all', but I only noticed on my timeline, rather than a notification. Not sure what that is all about

[@LordandLordettes]

That is strange. Maybe try coming off the bell then clicking it again? 🤔

[@kittybell4604]

Very informative thank u. 🙂

[@LordandLordettes]

You're welcome. 😊

[@laleniamahnken5292]

One thing that I didn't see was I call it a grabby you know it's just one of those things that helps you grab things from higher places I have one in each room because the fibromyalgia is mostly from my hips on down that's where I get my most pain so it's really hard for me to bend down and my grabby is a lifesaver

[@LordandLordettes]

Good idea, my friend mentioned that the other day. 😊

[@heatherinnorfolk]

I use one for my laundry to get things out of washing machine and dryer . Its folding type so can store easily. Also use laundry basket that can be carried with one hand so I can support myself with other ​@@LordandLordettes

[@Stormy-14-]

[@Living_with_fafa]

[@cathycoppin5682]
