Loved one (M 77) got diagnosis. Looking for supplements, devices, anything that can help his quality of life
Hi everyone. A family member was recently diagnosed,so we’re trying to get things organized so he can have his care set up at home. He will need transfusions for the rest of his life, transplant isn’t an option, and hes already receiving medication. Now im traveling to the U.S. soon and was thinking about getting one of those at-home hemoglobin readers, but I’ve seen really mixed reviews. Is this worth it?
Also, in general, are there any devices, supplements, or even small things that have helped improve quality of life? Could be anything honestly: stuff for comfort, things that made day-to-day life easier, etc. I’ve even seen people talk about things like the iron fish for cooking, but I’m not sure what’s actually helpful for this condition. Feeling a bit frustrated because there’s not much else I can do right now, so I’m just trying to support him however I can. Would really appreciate hearing what has helped you or your family. Thanks all
