I am looking to the disability community for this one!

What are your favourite/most effective ways to manage your chronic pain/chronic health issues/chronic mental health diagnoses/neurodivergencies?

For example, what do you do for chronic back pain? How do you make life easier with ADHD? Whatever your diagnoses, what do you do to make life with them more manageable?

Currently, for pain, I:

-wear upper thigh-high compression stockings
-use heat
-use medication
-rest
-wear braces
-vape/smoke cannabis
-use topical cannabis
-use a power chair
-use other mobility aids
-use special cushions and pillows
-take courses through the pain clinic

Currently, for neurodivergencies and mental health diagnoses:

-see a therapist/social worker
-meditate (must do more)
-breathing exercises (must do more)
-use fidgets
-journal (must do more)
-use noise canceling earbuds/headphones

I need more tools in my arsenal!

Thank you for your thoughts and help πŸ’•

Just put a deposit down on a pair of #AI #MoonWalkers by #ShiftRobotics. I have limited mobility and endurance; these seem like they may be a helpful #AssistiveDevice.

Very expensive, but the deposit is refundable if I decide not to purchase them by the time they’re ready for shipment (sometime in 2023), and I’ll keep doing research on them until then.
