- Back/Neck Massagers
Those of us who suffer from migraine usually also suffer from frequent and severe back and neck pain. Not to mention, we spend a lot of time laying down which can cause soreness and stiffness in our necks. Massagers like these that help us to relax comfortably and address some of our lingering pain are great! - 2 Piece Turtleneck Sweater Set
Comfort is really important when you have a chronic illness, but we also want to look cute, fashionable and presentable too! Chic and comfy sets like these are great for helping us to feel more put together and polished, which is great for our self esteem. - Towel Warmer
Make no mistake, towel warmers are the epitome of luxury, and when you’re sick all the time, it’s nice to have little touches of luxury around your house to make your daily life a little bit easier and more comfortable. A towel warmer is just that, a little injection of luxury into what can be a life punctuated by struggle and sacrifice. - Uggs
When it comes to fashion and style, it can be hard for us to keep up, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to! Sometimes we’re limited in what we can wear because of balance or sensory issues, so we really gravitate towards fashion trends that prioritize comfort. Uggs have been killing the game this season with their new line and not only are they cute, their super comfy. - Menorah Skincare Rescue Sheet Masks
these are great - Electric Kettle

This little thing is great or anybody, not just migraine sufferers. Whether you work on a computer or suffer from tension headaches, this little thing is a game changer. It uses heat air pressure and vibration to give you an eye/head massage unlike anything else. Try to go with a model that has a remote, as the buttons on the actual mask can be a little tricky to push. - Bluetooth Headphones Headband
These are the best headphones to sleep with: they don’t fall out or get lost like AirPods and smaller headphones do. The volume is good, they have a very long battery life, turn off on their own after a few hours and are not uncomfortable or constricting at all. Hands down the best headphones to fall asleep with. - Head Hug Aromatherapy Shower Steamers
