Migraines/inflammation
These are some products/OTC medications that work super well for migraines, headaches, and joint pain!!
I have a pink one, and it's saved me more times than I can count! I'd seriously recommend this to anyone with chronic headaches/migraines!
IceBeanie Migraine Relieving Beanie: Compression Cold Therapy
This, along with the tension headache version, is my lifesaver! I have chronic migraines and tension headaches from my POTS, and Excedrin is the only thing that works for me!!
OTC Migraine Medication
POTS
Compression items, sodium/electrolyte products, and other things that help make my POTS more manageable!!
Such a good source of electrolytes/sodium! They're easy on my stomach and perfect for flare up days! My personal favorites are the fruit punch, tropical punch, and orange mango!
BODYARMOR Sports Drinks: Superior Hydration & Electrolytes
Ik I'm supposed to take sodium capsules, but these are great in a pinch! DO NOT forget some sort of drink when using these, you will need it!
Salt Packets
While these are a little more expensive, they actually do so much for me! They're so comfortable and breathable during hotter months!
Nurse Yard Compression Socks
MCAS
My FAVORITE products/treatments as a girl living with mast cell activation syndrome! These help with symptoms and overall inflammation!!
While I don't use this specific brand, luteolin is an amazing supplement for people with mcas! It helps with inflammation and is easy to take, but I would always recommend talking to your doctor before taking this!
Gyumolics Luteolin 300mg, 60 Softgels
HEDS
The PERFECT items that help me through my hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome! These are mainly for joint pain/subluxation!
These are one of the best knee braces I've ever used! They help me keep my knees from hyperextending and they keep my pain from getting too bad!
Copper Knee Brace Support for Women Adjustable
Nausea
These help so much with my nausea! They're not too spicy and they almost have a calming effect for me!
Advanced Herbals® Ginger Chews
As someone with nausea and stomach acid issues, this is by far one of the only products that seems to keep my stomach under control!
