Hi, I'm new to the forum but desperately looking for tips and gadgets to help me continue to do normal things like cooking and cleaning without ending up laid up for days. I am still coming to terms with my diagnosis (fibro + CFS) And I'm only 28 and have been very independent but since I had a massive flare up last December things have become much harder and I'm struggling a lot more. I live with my partner who does try his hardest to support me but sometimes it's hard to explain how a specific tin opener can make such a big difference to my life...I'm also very scared about becoming really vulnerable and losing my dignity...I'm trying my hardest to battle through but as many of you know, it's exhausting. As the weather is starting to change, I'm definitely noticing more pain so I'm trying to be really proactive and find things that can help before I have another winter barely being able to get out of bed.
