What’s on your nightstand: chronic illness edition

Helpful Tips, Tricks, and Products

I love knowing about what helps/ works for others. I’m in a terrible flare right now, chronic pain, inflammation and fatigue. Diagnosis: EDS, endometriosis, PMDD, ulcerative colitis, lymphatic malformation, RA and ankylosing spondylitis. I’m also 4 weeks post op from three emergency surgeries and looking for some relief. 😴

On my nightstand: Kleenex, unscented lotion, sleep number remote, heating pad, thermometer, books & kindle, phone, neck massager, ear plugs, water, Gatorade, hair clip and glasses, pain meds.
