Symptom Management
My favourite cooling topical ❄️
Biofreeze Roll On
I use this to easily bring around my pain & emergency medications.
Pill Organizer
I can't get through a migraine without one of these!
TheraICE Headache Relief Cap
This is the heating pad I use pretty much every day. It is slightly weighted and gets super hot. 🔥
Moist Heating Pad
I always have one of these in my bag! They help you cool down quickly, you just squeeze them and pop the inner bag & then they are instantly cold for up to 20 minutes.
Instant Cold Packs
I love these one time use heat wraps for on the go. You can use them on your back or flip them around and use them on your belly. & they last FOREVER - like 12 hours!
Thermacare Heatwraps
My FAVOURITE topical & a little goes a long way. Use the code “Endostood” for 15% off!
Somedays Cramp Cream
My portable heat/tens belt that I bring EVERYWHERE. Have an adhesive allergy and want to try a tens machine? This is it. Use the code "Endostood" for 10% off!
Apollo
I actually eat these instead of taking Gravol whenever I'm nauseous & they work magic 🪄
CHIMES ORIGINAL Ginger Chews
Period Products
My go to on day #1. Period sleep shorts that absorb up to 12 normal tampons worth.
Thinx Sleep Shorts
The reusable pads I use when I run out of clean period undies.
Aisle Washable Cloth Menstrual Pads
My favourite period underwear EVER. Aborbs up to 5 super tampns and fully covers you so you don't have to worry about leaks.
Knix Super Leakproof Dream Short
Mobility/Safety
My medical ID bracelet. This never comes off and it's there to tell anyone in case of emergency important information. It's engraved on the inside and so much prettier than any other medical ID I've had.
Gold Filigree Floral Engraved Medical ID Cuff
This is the cane I use. It folds up and can fit in a bag & the bottom of the cane pivots without slipping out from under you.
HurryCane Folding Cane
This is the rollator I use all the time & I love her! Especially because it can be turned into a transport chair super easily.
Stella Rollator
I use this everytime I shower to stay safe (with POTS I easily get overheated and then really lightheaded) - I use this one because I share a shower with my family & it's portable but one with a back would probably be safer.
Folding Shower Chair
Bedroom Essentials
I can't sleep without this thing! It's very easy to travel with & quiet enough to bring it if you have to stay in the hospital for any length of time.
Woozoo Fan
A flare day MUST. This can be your desk, your dining table, whatever you need it to be right on your bed.
Foldable Lap Desk
I use this to sort my pills for the week. This really helps me keep track of if I've taken my daily meds or not & it's so much easier to throw one day in my bag rather than a bunch of pill bottles.
Weekly Pill Organizer
Hydration/Snacks
I bring this everywhere with me & when I throw it in my bag I don't have to worry about it leaking.
Owala FreeSip
One of the mildest tasting flavoured electrolytes - which I love & they have almost a carbonating effect.
Nuun Electrolyte Tablets
My go to salty electrolyte drink. If I feel lightheaded, I'm reaching for this.
Gatorlyte
My go to snack when I'm nauseous or just not hungry & need to take my medication.
