Supplements

Thorne Vitamin D3 + K2 (Liquid)
Easy to adjust and simple to take. I prefer liquid forms when possible, especially when swallowing pills feels like too much.

Global Healing Center Vitamin B12 (Liquid)
This liquid B12 includes all three active forms of B12, which is one reason I chose it. Liquid forms are easy to take and don’t rely as much on digestion, which can be helpful when absorption is a concern. I’ve mentioned this one before because it’s simple, well-formulated, and easy to use consistently.

Thorne Super EPA – Omega-3 Fatty Acid
This is a high-quality omega-3 that focuses on EPA, which is especially helpful for inflammation support. I like that it’s clean, well-tested, and doesn’t have a strong fishy taste. Omega-3s play a key role in nervous system and brain health, so this is one I keep consistent rather than rotating.

Seeking Health ProBiota HistaminX
Many people with MS also struggle with histamine sensitivity, which can make some probiotics hard to tolerate. I chose this one because it’s formulated specifically for histamine support and uses gentler strains. It’s a good option if you’ve tried probiotics before and felt worse, or if you want to start very slowly.

Kitchen & Food Prep

Coffee & Seed Grinder
I’ve been using this Krups coffee and seed grinder for many years. I originally bought it after I started adding one tablespoon of ground flaxseed to my daily routine. I wanted something compact that didn’t take up much space, and it’s been the perfect size.
I use it regularly to grind both flaxseeds and chia seeds. I prefer ground chia seeds because I don’t enjoy the texture of whole chia seeds, and this grinder makes the job quick and easy.
One tip I learned the hard way: don’t add water before wiping it out. If you do, the leftover flaxseed or chia seed dust turns into a thick, sticky paste that’s much harder to clean. Instead, wipe it out with a dry paper towel or cloth first. Then rinse it under a gentle stream of hot water and wipe it clean.
I’ve used this grinder for years, and it’s still one of my favorite kitchen tools.

Electric Citrus Juicer
For years, I used a handheld citrus juicer, but it always seemed like I was leaving a lot of juice behind. It also took more hand strength than I liked. When I switched to this electric citrus juicer, I couldn’t believe how much easier it was.
It’s simple to use, extracts much more juice, and lets you choose how much pulp you want in your juice. Whether I’m making fresh lemon juice for a recipe or squeezing limes or oranges, it saves time and takes very little effort.
I liked it so much that I bought one for my mom. She ended up loving it too and even gave them as Christmas gifts to several of her friends!

NutriBullet Personal Blender
I’ve used a NutriBullet for years and rely on it almost daily. This is the same style I’ve purchased for myself and family members. It’s simple, powerful enough for smoothies and blended foods, and easy to use without a lot of strength. Newer versions are very similar to the one I own.

Home & Environment

AirDoctor Air Purifier
Cleaner indoor air matters, especially during wildfire season or winter when windows stay closed. I chose this air purifier because it helps remove mycotoxins (mold toxins).

Echo Devices (Voice-Controlled Smart Assistants)
I use two Echo devices in my home and find them very helpful. Being able to use my voice instead of getting up or using my hands makes a big difference on low-energy days. I use them for reminders, timers, weather updates, listening to music, and controlling lights, plugs, and blinds—no more stretching over furniture.
For people with MS, tools like this can help conserve energy and reduce fall risk by limiting unnecessary movement. It’s a simple way to make daily life feel a little more manageable.

Roborock Robot Vacuum
This has been a real lifesaver for me. It’s perfect for people with balance issues, fatigue, or difficulty walking when vacuuming isn’t realistic on a regular basis. Having a robot vacuum helps keep the house manageable without risking falls or using up precious energy.
I did a lot of research before choosing this brand, and I’m very glad I did. It’s user-friendly, especially when it comes to unjamming it, which matters. I also live with two huskies, so there’s no shortage of long fur everywhere. This vacuum handles it well and takes one big task off my plate.

Smart Mini Blind Wand
I originally wanted smart curtains so I wouldn’t have to reach over furniture to open and close our window coverings. Instead of replacing all of our mini blinds, I found these smart wands that fit onto our existing blinds. It saved us a lot of money, and I’ve been using them throughout our house for years.
The best part is that Alexa opens and closes our blinds for us, so I don’t have to stretch over furniture or remember to do it myself. During the summer, I have Alexa automatically close our west-facing blinds just before the afternoon sun reaches our windows. It helps keep our house cooler, and for anyone with heat intolerance, blocking the hot summer sun can make a big difference in staying comfortable.
I’ve been using Sunsa Smart Blind Wands for years. Unfortunately, they’re no longer available on Amazon. If you’re looking for a similar option, I’ve linked to one that offers many of the same features.

Movement & Support

Toilet Safety Rail
I bought a toilet safety rail before my husband had hip replacement surgery, and it turned out to be one of the most useful purchases we’ve made. We both still use it today because it’s incredibly sturdy and makes sitting down and standing up much easier.
The only downside to the model we own is that it has a straight bar across the front, which can get in the way. If I were buying one today, I’d probably choose a similar sturdy model without that front bar. Even so, we’ve been very happy with ours, and it’s made everyday life safer and more comfortable.

Sock Aid
I bought a sock aid for my husband before his hip replacement surgery so he could put on his socks without bending over. Even though he’s fully recovered now, he still uses it every day because it’s so much easier.
A sock aid can also be helpful if you have leg weakness, limited flexibility, or difficulty reaching your feet. It takes much of the bending out of putting on socks, making it easier to stay independent and get dressed with less effort.

Reacher/Grabber Tool
We both use a reacher every day. I originally bought one for my husband after his hip replacement surgery, and he liked it so much that I bought one for myself too. Mine is pink, and his is blue!
Instead of bending over or reaching into awkward places, I simply use my reacher. It’s especially helpful when our cat knocks something under the desk or behind furniture where it’s difficult to reach. I was surprised at how well it works—it can even pick up something as small as a piece of paper.
A reacher can be a real help if you have balance problems, leg weakness, or difficulty bending over. It makes everyday tasks easier while helping reduce unnecessary strain and lowering the risk of falls.

Resistance Loop Bands
I’ve been using these resistance loop bands for years, and they’re one of my favorite ways to fit in a little extra movement throughout the day. I use them to help strengthen my arms, legs, and hips, and because they’re so lightweight and compact, I can take them almost anywhere.
The yellow band is my favorite, and I keep it with me wherever I go. I’ll use it while waiting for an appointment, sitting on the porch enjoying nature, or even while watching TV. It’s an easy way to sneak in a few minutes of exercise without needing a gym or special equipment.
These bands come in different resistance levels, so you can choose the one that works best for your current strength. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for a simple way to stay consistent, they’re an inexpensive tool that’s easy to use at home or on the go.

OptimalBody Personal Fitness (Online Gym)
This is an online fitness program designed specifically for people with MS. I’ve used this program for several years and really like it. The workouts use resistance bands instead of heavy weights and don’t require getting on the floor.
There are options for people with balance challenges and for those who exercise from a chair or wheelchair. What makes this program especially meaningful to me is that the owner, David, also lives with MS. He understands firsthand what movements feel supportive and which ones don’t, and that experience shows in how the exercises are designed.

Molly’s Suds Laundry Detergent
I’ve been using Molly’s Suds laundry detergent for many years, and it’s one of my favorite clean household products. I use it for all of our laundry because it’s made with simple ingredients and doesn’t contain the harsh fragrances found in many conventional detergents.
My skin is very sensitive, so choosing a gentler laundry detergent is important to me. I buy the peppermint scent because it has a light, fresh fragrance that’s pleasant without being overpowering. It cleans our clothes well, and I appreciate knowing I’m washing our clothes with simpler ingredients.
