Missing doses used to stress me out constantly — I'd get to lunch and genuinely couldn't remember if I took my morning pill or not. If you're juggling multiple medications, caring for an aging parent, or just terrible at remembering one daily vitamin, this is everything I tested until my system actually worked. Took me eight months of trial and error so you don't have to.

Somewhere around week 30, my lower back started screaming at me every time I stood up from the couch. Sitting at my desk felt impossible. I burned through three belts that either rode up, showed through my clothes, or did absolutely nothing before landing on what actually works. If you're deep into your third trimester and tired of wincing through every grocery run, this lineup took me months to figure out so you don't have to.

These are some helpful tips for anyone dealing with back pain, plantar fasciitis, or other foot issues. They come from my own experience living with chronic bulging disc pain and a two-year struggle with plantar fasciitis. Over time, I’ve come to realize just how connected our feet and backs really are. To truly find relief, you have to take care of both. Pain-free living depends on it.

Sitting at a desk eight hours a day wrecked my feet in ways I never expected. My arches seized up, my plantar fascia screamed every morning, and no amount of stretching before bed was cutting it. If you spend most of your day sitting and your feet feel like they belong to someone 30 years older, this is the lineup that finally loosened things up. Took me a solid year of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

Every month like clockwork, cramps would flatten me by 10 a.m. and I'd be curled up on the couch canceling plans. Heating pads that died in an hour, painkillers that barely touched the pain, and hot water bottles that went cold mid-meeting. This is everything I actually use now on my worst days.

As one of my mom’s caregivers, I wanted to create a list of the ALS caregiving products, mobility aids, respiratory equipment, comfort items, and daily living tools that have genuinely helped her. These recommendations come from her physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, doctors, and our own experience caring for her at home. We have tried many products that did not work for her, so I am only including items she has actually used and found helpful. ALS is a progressive disease, and a person’s needs can change over time, so not every item will be appropriate for every stage or every patient. However, everything included on this list made a meaningful difference for my mom at some point in her ALS journey. Sending lots of love to all persons with ALS and caregivers of people with ALS. I am hopeful that there will be a cure one day. ***As with anything on Benable, I earn a very small royalty from purchases made here, but I wouldn't recommend anything I haven't bought for my own mom. This platform just seemed like a great method for sharing recommendations! Any money I earn here goes right back into supporting my mom***
