What a Nighttime Routine Looks Like When You Have a Chronic Illness

What’s your nighttime routine like? In this humorous video from Gifted Lift, Lauren gives us a sneak peek into her nighttime routine as a person with a chronic illness.

Here are some exercises and stretches adapted for muscular dystrophy patients.

Having a healthy snack, enjoying life to the fullest, checking in with friends, as well as keeping up to date with current affairs all play a prominent role (although maybe not in a way her doctor would recommend!) in Lauren’s nightly routine. But through the humor, we’re sure you’ll be able to appreciate many of Lauren’s rituals, including all the medications she needs to take, having to raincheck on her friends in case she picks up any infections, worrying about what she may be missing out on and what she’d be doing if she didn’t have a chronic illness.

And guess what? Lauren’s joining us for Facebook Live chat on our Pulmonary Fibrosis page this month. Don’t miss it! And for all the latest MD news, you can follow us here.
