Does anyone have 'Survival' tips?

When I'm not in as much pain I tend to make up a batch of food & freeze it so when the pain is bad I can just heat it up. Does anyone have anything that they do so they don't have to struggle so much on bad days?

You do what I do!! It saves a lot of time and pain. Sometimes I have problems dressing, so get my clothes ready the night before so I'm not scrabbling around trying to get clothes in the morning if I can't move properly.

I have certain clothes are are reserved for the days when "clothes hurt." They are dresses that barely touch anywhere on my body other than my shoulders. The way they are made I can get by not wearing a bra with them. i wear sandals with them...and go to work late adn come home early...if at all possible. I keep them ready and only wear them when needed.
