Balancing Comfort And Fashion When You Have A Chronic Illness
I don’t think women should be forced to choose between comfort and fashion.
It can be so hard to find clothes that don’t aggravate fibromyalgia and pain from chronic illnesses. Once I got diagnosed, it suddenly made so much sense—no wonder I have so much trouble finding clothes!
I’ve never been able to stand tight clothes, thick waistbands, itchy tags. If clothes are made in a way that seams press into my skin—no thank you! And I’ve never understood why people love wearing tons of layers—I have to so I don’t freeze, but it’s so hard to find clothes that layer well together without causing me more pain, especially through my shoulders. The weight and bulk of layers can really make my fibro flare up.
WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO?
If you have trouble finding clothes with fibro, this post is for you! I’ve linked to what I’m currently wearing all the time, and added tips on what has helped me find my most comfortable and stylish clothes. That way, if my picks aren’t your style, hopefully you’ll leave with some ideas to help you find clothes that fit your style and help you be more comfortable.
