Does your illness make everyday hygiene and cleanliness difficult?

Hi everyone 👋

Let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked: personal hygiene. For many people living with chronic illness or pain, even the smallest everyday tasks, like brushing your hair, taking a shower, or tidying your space, can feel exhausting, overwhelming, or physically impossible.

You’re not alone if you’ve been there. Let’s open up:

• Do you find it hard to keep up with basic hygiene when your symptoms flare?
• Have you found ways to make things easier with help, tools, or routines?
• What would you say to someone feeling ashamed or alone in this struggle?
