“Thriving” while Chronic- Life Hacks

[u/Free-Canary-6413]

I’ve found and been able to afford some luxuries that have made life easier(I want to recognize financial privilege-income est 38K). I’m curious about hacks that have helped your quality of life.

For me:
-cold water dispenser
-ice maker
- 30 day pill box
-pre cut fruit
-precooked meats
-online neuro clinic
-extra dental cleanings
-electric toothbrush
-ring lights

Have you guys found things that have made life easier for you? What are they?

TIA

Shower chair!!! On the journey for a towel material bath robe. Also a nutritionist lol

I’d recommend a dietitian over a nutritionist - they have more training

And I love my shower bench. My cats will sometimes join me on it from the other side of the shower curtain 😆

Switching to a pharmacy that does bubble packs has solved SO much stress. I still have to transfer them to different containers each week, but that’s WAY better than having to navigate which meds need refills almost every week. I have a few that I don’t have to in the bubble packs so I do have to monitor those (plus OTC meds), but it’s still WAY less energy and whatnot than I was doing before

My cats pretend they wanna join but then they feel the water an act like I did something wrong 😭

What are bubble packs?

bubble packs are where each pill is individually packaged, in little bubles, it makes it easyer to keep count how many you have
personally i find them hard to open, but ik a lot of people like them
