Great Idea Mominpain!
For me I could not live without my hot water bottles. I have a couple with nice soft covers. I travel with them and they really come in handy especially on airplanes. Beyond that my survival kit contains the following items: Any fabric soft and warm (I always have to warm my bed before I get in) Microwaveable bean bags, available at most drug stores Sheep skin slippers, hand made from a local crafts person Down filled soft covered booties from Brookstone Hot wax machine, available at most drug stores TENS machine Exercise bike, ball, & therapy bands. Qigong DVD for stress relief (a gentle exercise focused on breathing and energy flow) Breathing exercises Stretch Pure & Simple DVD Meditation & guided imagery CD's (My favorite is called Mind Food Pain Control by Hemi Sync because it has helped me to learn how to turn down the pain signalshttp://www.new-mind.com/HemiSyncPain...management.htm Hot tub & sauna Exfoliation glove or soft bath brush (for desensitisation) available at most drug stores. Wooden massage roller for my foot because my fascia tightens For emergencies I also carry those heating patches called Tensor (they say they work for 10 hours but I never got that much heat from them, perhaps because my RSD foot is typically ice cold) I bought mine at Walmart. I stopped using electric heating pads because I had one that caught on fire. Wishing you much joy and peace. MsL Last edited by Mslday; 02-24-2009 at 05:06 PM. |
