Here are some holiday gift ideas for yourself or the fibroid sufferer in your life:
-
Comfort basket: How about putting together a holiday basket filled with favorite snacks and soothing drinks? Eating a healthy, well-rounded diet and staying hydrated can help boost energy levels, which can help alleviate other fibroid symptoms. Be sure to include herbal tea and dark chocolate!
-
Exercise equipment: Because physical activity can help alleviate fibroid pain and discomfort, gift your loved one with a stationary bike, weight set, or new pair of workout shoes.
-
Heat therapy: A heating pad or hot water bottle can do wonders to reduce painful menstrual cramping and back pain due to fibroids. Plus, these items are generally comforting to curl up with, especially on a cold day.
-
Reusable water bottle: With so many great options on the market, you won’t have any trouble finding the right color, size, and style for that special someone. Bonus: you’ll also be helping to save the planet!
-
New underwear: Because many women with fibroids experience blood stains on their clothing, they will surely appreciate replacements.
-
Nap accessories: Because low energy is a potential side effect of fibroids, taking naps can be very important. Plus, who doesn’t love a cozy pillow, warm socks, and fleece blanket?
-
Travel pillow and blanket: Although airlines used to provide pillows and blankets to passengers, these items are becoming harder and harder to find on flights, particularly during pandemic travel. Bringing your own can ensure personal comfort when dealing with fibroids and travel.
