Crisis

Preparing a crisis kit at home

A gentle checklist of what to keep within reach so you are not hunting for supplies in pain.

Your future self will thank you. Keep these in one place:

- Warm water bottle or heating pad (warm, not hot)
- Electrolyte drinks / oral rehydration salts
- A current list of your medications and dosages
- A summary of your diagnosis and care team contacts
- Soft blankets and loose clothing
- A small notebook to track pain levels and what helped
- Phone charger (seriously, keep one in the kit)

If you can, prepare a second smaller version for your car or bag.
