What non-medical items have helped you with your chronic pain?

Asked by augustlan (47745points) September 13th, 2011

As most of you know, I have fibromyalgia, and have for many years. Lately, it’s been a lot worse, for reasons unclear to me. I already take medication for it, and try to regulate my activities so as not to aggravate it, so I think it may be time to upgrade some of the non-medical stuff I use regularly in my everyday life.

What helped you? A better mattress? If so, what kind? A better office chair? (I sit in mine for at least 10 hours a day, and it’s an old-school one like this, with a bed pillow for cushioning). Better shoes? Custom orthotics? If you think of anything else, please feel free to make suggestions. I’d like to get the most bang for my buck. Thanks!
