Disability assistance tools can be a game changer for people with lupus, far beyond crutches, canes, and walkers.
People with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have many challenges that many other people don’t always understand. When most people think about disabilities, they think about very visible disabilities that affect mobility, and many people with SLE do have these issues. However, SLE affects all organs in the body, including sensory organs and nerves, and can cause issues with eyesight, balance, hearing loss, and memory. Tools are used to overcome challenges, and well-known mobility assistance tools such as crutches, canes, and wheelchairs are important to many Lupus Warriors, however, there are many more lesser-known tools out there that can improve their lives.
This article will focus on these lesser-known tools and apps that might make a huge difference in your life, as you deal with challenges with eyesight, hearing, balance, mobility, and cognition.
I have a sticker on my back car window that says “Not all disabilities are visible” so when I have to park in a handicapped space, and people look at me like, where’s her disability, hopefully they will read the sticker. Also, I use a daily reminder app on my phone to remind me to take meds during the day, take the trash out, take a shot, etc. I wouldn’t remember otherwise.
