Product Review: NaturalPoint- The SmartNAV hands free computer mouse

This product proves that if you have a problem, there is probably a solution out there for you... you just need to find it!
If you work on the computer, if you recreationally use a computer but have trouble maneuvering the mouse, or if you get hand fatigue or pain by using the mouse- this product is for you. For many people who are living with chronic pain or disability, the computer not only becomes a main source of income, but for vital socialization as well. What happens when the one thing that helps us become independent..our computers, ends up being a source of pain? Typing, moving a mouse and any repetitive movement can be painful for anyone, but especially those with pre-existing joint problems.

Product Review: The Body-Creamer

The Body-Creamer might be just what you’ve been waiting for! Longing for someone to apply that lotion between your shoulder blades, or perhaps someone to rub that one spot - too high to reach from twisting your arm around your waist and too low for swinging your arm over your head?

Product Review: Automatic Gizmo® Can Opener

You all know how I love kitchen gadgets and this is my newest favorite. The arthritis in my hands is really bad and gets worse as the weather gets colder, so being the wonderful husband that he is, Darren went and bought me this can opener. It is awesome. I don't have to do anything but put it on the can and it does the rest.

Product Review: Sugar Please Automatic Sugar Dispenser

Whoever thought of this great new gadget must have been sitting next to me at the diner, whenever I angrily rip open one of those sugar packets. Either I tear it and sugar flies everywhere, or I can't get the darn things open at
all.

Product Review: Foot Flush

I am one of the least handy people in the world and yet even I could install the FootFlush, so I know that you can too. But why would you want to?

Product review: The "Ove" Glove

If you have arthritis, neuropathy or other functional problems with your hands, you know that maneuvering hot items while cooking can be difficult if not dangerous. Pot holders can leave your fingers exposed. Oven mitts, while they protect your fingers, can be difficult to maneuver with clumsy hands, making you vulnerable to
losing your grip and dropping whatever you are trying to carry. So what's the solution?

Product Review: X nite lite

I hate the dark. I know I should get over this seemingly childish fear, but it lingers. I have always hated the dark, but as I got older and had to deal with the "unsteadiness" that accompanies the myriad of illnesses I face, my
fear of the dark began to be grounded in reason. I am not ashamed.

Product Review: ABC Baby Carrier Mei Tai Carrier

As a single mom of a 2 1/2 year old, I find it difficult to always pick up my child when he can't walk anymore, or to tote an umbrella stroller around with me through crowded places, like a farmer's markets, where I need to keep an eye on him. Further more, I like to have him close by, so what is a mommy in pain to do??? I have a simple solution for you- ABC Carrier.

Product Review: Antiscald Temperature Actuated Flow Reducers

Many people who face neurological disabilities, including the elderly and children, have trouble feeling when the temperature of water is too hot. Recently, I have (minimally) burnt myself, not realizing how hot the bath tub water was and so I was recommended to try an "anti-scald" device on my shower head/ faucet.

Product Review: Twist & Spout Pouring Handles

I found this product while searching the Internet on a great site called perpetual kid.com. I wasn't looking for something that would help my day to day living, but I found one. It serves as a lesson to always "keep your eye out" for items that can be useful and make life a little easier. You may need to get creative, or try to use products differently then they were intended, but if it works? Great.

Product Review: The Bookchair

During my most recent hospital visit, I was bored out of my mind. I wanted to read magazines or books, but soon realized that I couldn't hold the book up high or steady enough to read comfortably. This was especially difficult
while I was lying down in bed or resting in a chair.

Product Review: The EZ-Carry

This is another one of those little gadgets that can make a big difference in your daily life. Anything that can help you function easier and become more independent is a product worth trying.

Product Review: Automatic Lotion Dispenser

With the cold and flu season upon us, we always hear from doctor's that the best defense against germs is to frequently wash our hands. This new gadget makes washing your hands fun and easy.

Product Review: The Handybar ®

This is one of those products that you use and say "wow, I wish I thought of that!"

Product review: ClearCanes.com

Sometimes when you are disabled you want something different just for fun and when you do, it is time to check out clearcanes.com. If you have to use a walking cane for your disability, you most likely received the typical metal or plain wooden cane from the doctor's office or supply store.

Product Review: "Speed Laces" - never tie your shoes again!

Now that my hands have been giving me more problems than usual, I was finding it very hard to lace and tie my sneakers. I hated the idea of not wearing my favorite sneakers, but I didn't think I had any other option.
I found speedlaces.com and saw a simple solution.
