Must Have Self Care (Chronic Illness) Gadgets
27
items As a 50+ woman who was sick with Lyme for 15 years I know a thing or two about pain, neuro damage, brain dysfunction, rage, isolation (all the fun things that come with being chronically unwell) and the management of all these things and more. Here a...
A MUST have. I use it almost every morning for puffiness
Ice Roller
You may look ridiculous but it works.
TheraICE Headache Hat - Hot & Cold Therapy
Holy grail level here, people! This thing is no joke! Tension? Gone. Knot? Gone. You will not regret this purchase.
RENPHO Neck & Shoulder Massager with Heat
My 80 year old mother loves this thing. Actually, everyone in my house does!
Foot Massager
If you have chronic leg pain or restless leg syndrome this is a life changer. I was lucky enough to find one while thrifting! Chronic Lyme messes you up and this brings a ton of relief to my system.
Chi Machine
Red light therapy does so much for the body and this gadget allows you to do body therapy as well. It'shelped with my daughter's acne and scarring.
Beuwe Red Light Therapy - Official Website
This lives on my nightstand that's how often I use it. It's compact enough to travel with and it packs a punch. A must have.
Theragun Mini 3rd Gen (Black) | Small Percussion Massage Gun for Pain Relief
This massage gun lives downstairs and is used daily by some member of my family. A great product that really gets the job done.
Renpho Massage Gun
One of the side ‘gifts’ of lyme are chronically dry eyes. If I have access to a microwave this is great.
Warm Eye Compress - Natural Heat Mask for Styes & Tired Eyes
This one is fabulous for travel. Lots of hotels don't have a microwave. Charge ahead of time and throw it in your bag for the trip!
Heated Cordless Eye Mask for Dry Eyes
Not intended for heat but rather light pressure on the eye trigger point areas. Love mine especially during allergy season. This with the eye globes or roller = magic!
Weighted Sleep Mask
What I like about these are the stainless steel globes (stay colder longer) and the rubber handles so they are easier to hold on to for those with problematic hands.
Ice Globes for Face & Eyes, Stainless Steel
There are a lot of women in our house and we have a lot of these! What I really like about these is when the roller disappears for days on end (daughter) These are still big enough for the entire face and the edges allow to really get under the eye a...
pfefe Ice Globes Facial Skin Care Tools
Another puffy eye/face tool. Again, stays colder longer and can be used on the entire face. These are great for travel because of their size.
Gua Sha Eye
I have tried so many of these damn things throughout the years and these are the only ones that do not slide down your face! I mean, who has the time to lay down while using these? Bonus, they do actually brighten, reduce puffiness etc.
Baggage Claim™ Eye Masks
We have had this sauna in our home for over a decade now. It is in regular rotation fall through spring. Great for wound healing, detoxing etc.
JNH Lifestyles Joyous 2-Person Infrared Sauna
What I love about this brush is that it isn't too stiff aka rough. It provides a more gently dry brush experience and it also detaches from the longer handle. Currently hanging in my bathroom and there is also one outside the sauna.
Belula Dry Brushing Body Brush Set - Natural Boar Bristle
If you are further along in your healing journey and can handle a more rigorous dry brush then this is for you.
ICANdOIT Stiff Dry Brushing Body Brush

If the socks are out of your price range then here is a great alternative. Check them out.
Voxx Insoles & Inserts
I am not affiliated with this company. I've read about the tech and honestly I don't get how it works. I just know that it does. For me, best results are when not worn daily but we use the Focus, Freedom (pain), Kick It (helps with autism tics) and P...
Super Patch
An investment? Yes. Worth it? Yes. This is used in therapy offices and anti-aging practices all over the US. Shock Wave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves that create controlled microtrauma in the tissue. This stimulates healing by increasin...

This works but be gentle!
Ashley Black Fascia Blaster
We have several of these. As soon as the temp begins to drop the fight for these begins.
