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.

Sleep and I had a very long, very dysfunctional relationship. For more than 35 years, falling asleep meant lying in bed for hours while my brain enthusiastically replayed every awkward moment of my life, and nighttime anxiety was a regular visitor. Mornings felt like waking up after being hit by a truck. I was deeply suspicious of anyone who claimed to be a “morning person.” It seemed unlikely they were telling the truth. A few years ago I made optimizing my sleep a hobby. The result is this list, with all the supports I’ve tested and maintained to make sleep easier: none of it is magic, but together they turn bedtime from a nightly battle into something that actually resembles rest. 😴

I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND NOTHING POSTED HERE SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS MEDICAL ADVICE. Always discuss medications with your medical provider before adding any supplements to your routine. Do not stop taking prescription medication without discussing with your provider. I learned my body needed sufficient time to reset after weaning off prescriptions before slowly adding in any supplements. My notes of “caused anxiety” were a much more uncomfortable experience than two words imply and took several days to undo by stopping all supplements and then later adding back in the ones that appeared safe for me personally. I may receive a commission from purchases made through some links here but the commission did not affect my choice to share what I have used or how I felt when using it.
