Everyone's unique and have their own personal essentials and tips and tricks but here are a few of mine...
- Dimmable lights
- Cooling forehead pad/cold wet flannel or forehead roll-ons
- Eye masks - I either use a cotton or I have another which has a gel insert which I can pop in the fridge
- Comfortable noise cancelling headphones or ear defenders/ear plugs
- Whatever medication you need and take for your migraines and for pain relief and anti-sickness
- Big tumbler of water/juice to keep your fluid intake up and with ice cubes in
- Plenty of cushions and pillows to get you into a comfortable and supportive position
- Pjs, (because they're more comfortable and lighter to wear)
- Just-in-case sick bag/bowl
- Having your phone nearby
- Communication cards - I get mine from © Stickman Communications
- Cooling air fan
- Something easy to do which can help distract you like listening to a podcast or audiobook on the lowest volume.
- Rehydration solution
- Snacks as I find this easier than big meals, cold things like ice lollies or sorbet are especially nice
