Question

What ways can I change the habits in my bathroom to better treat multiple sclerosis?

Answer 1

You can use:

• An elevated toilet seat or safety rails
• Grab bars inside and outside the tub or shower
• A shower chair with back support
• Longer handles on faucets
• A nonskid bathtub mat
• A handheld bath/shower hose
• A long-handled sponge or scrub brush
• Mitts or sponges with soap inside instead of bar soap
• Lukewarm water, so you won’t aggravate your symptoms
• A towel on the back of your chair or a terrycloth robe to dry off
• Toothbrushes with built-up handles or an electric toothbrush
