What Assistive Gadgets have been useful to you?

I have used an old bleach bottle to store the old needles since Curascript never sent one.

I too find Biotene to be a best friend during treatment.

Diabetic style socks have been very helpful for me in reducing swelling of my feet and calves and reduced itching there.

Water bottles everywhere, work, family room, bedroom and both cars!

I put water bottles everywhere too, and bought the biggest variety of drink additives i could find... cause I just cant (CANT) choke down any more plain water... i was never a big drinker to start, and find that the more i stay hydrated, the less sides I feel...

Tetley tea infusions are a big hit right now.


Also, I bought a dual alarm clock, that displays on the ceiling.. so i wake nicely for my night meds, and dont sleep in through my morning meds...

pill box yes good item...
pj's /tshirts i could only wear  cotton and i layered .
if i didn;t cover my skin the air would increase the intensity
of my skin issues.
very soft toothbrush(even a kids one)
mouth rinse w/no alcohol
gentle shampoo
I am still using a blend of raw coconut oil melted down with a good organic cocoa butter
when it hardens  to a paste u just schmear it all over. It's a wonderful skin
emollient . My skin issues from the incivek are very slo to go away. at first i didn't think they
ever would. I have increased my essential fatty acids alot too.

a small food processor to make smoothies. Bags of frozen fruit pieces for said smoothies (put some in a little bowl, microwave to thaw, throw in the food processor with a packet of instant oatmeal and soymilk). Those on Fatzivek, add some olive or flax seed oil.
