3 Ways To Make Home-Life Easier

When you have an illness like MS or lupus that causes fatigue, finding energy for the things that you enjoy can sometimes feel like an uphill climb. Finding ways to make everyday chores easier, can mean that you have more energy for things you ACTUALLY want to do. Here are 3 tips for saving energy at home:

Rethink Your Home

Place items that you use daily close at hand. Avoid storing these everyday items in places that you must reach up to grab or bend down to find. Consider a residential dumbwaiter to help put away laundry or bring in items from the market.

Get a Service Dog

Service dogs can be trained to help with balance and also to do simple tasks around the home like bring items from the fridge or baskets from the laundry room.

Pace Yourself

Listen to your body. Do only what you can when you can. Pushing yourself may make your fatigue worse. Tomorrow is a new day.
