My wrists were aching by 2pm every single day and I kept blaming my chair, my posture, everything except my actual desk setup. Turns out the angle of my keyboard, the height of my monitor, and the lack of any wrist support were slowly wrecking me. If you work from a desk 8+ hours and your hands go numb or your forearms burn by end of day, this is the exact setup that got me pain-free in about three weeks. Grabbed most of this over a single weekend so don't overthink it.

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***

Sleep was the first thing perimenopause took from me. I would fall asleep fine and then wake at 3am drenched, wired, and staring at the ceiling. For months I blamed stress, then my mattress, then myself. What actually turned it around was not one magic fix but a small system: cool the body, calm the nervous system, and remove the things quietly sabotaging me overnight. This is that system, in the order I would rebuild it if I were starting again tonight.
