Being a younger woman, I do put make-up on. I tend to use the GOOD cheaper stuff that stays on longer like stuff from NARS. I also leave it on most of the week too, like I just tend to put it on and sleep in it for about a week, shower caps and avoiding the water to splash my face much make it easier for me to do so. I kinda have a habit of wearing easy to grab stuff too. so I've gotten to be quite used to wearing mismatched things.

i don't iron clothes but i wear clean clothes everyday. i change from pajamas but always wear easy stuff. some days wear makeup, always lipstick, and wash it off because i dont like to go to bed w/ stuff on my face. shower,daily now because of new accessible bathroom. it is my routine.

I'm still all relatively new to this but I find that keeping things simple is best. I don't wear makeup anyway but I'd grown up being told never to leave home looking like I didn't care about myself so yoga pants and a nice looking, and fitting, t-shirt works. When my legs have the tingles or the numbness and won't allow for such encasement, maxi-dresses are great. Gypsy and maxi skirts, too, or whatever skirt suits your tolerance and fancy. For shoes, I've grown comfortable in keds because the heavier ones are too heavy and, with skirts, ballet flats, oxfords, topsiders and the like.

Heh... I've not much else to think of, lately, besides my woe-is-me so may as well turn to figure how I'm going to make at least this work, right? :)

Are you on Provigil for fatigue? It helps me. I understand your fatigue but i cant stand wearing pajamas all day myself. Hope it gets better for you.

I also have extreme fatigue. I'm on adderal and Adipex now. Just went through a rough time where my fatigue was horrible, the worst I've ever had. In this time I have found that taking a cooler shower, not to cold, has helped with my fatigue. As for the makeup and hair, I almost always put on makeup if I'm going to town. This makes me feel less sick. As for my hair, it's naturally curly, so I just put some gel in it and let it air dry. I used to work full time and had to dress up. I miss my job dearly, I guess this is a way to feel somewhat normal to me. As for dressing, I'll normally wear a pair of jeans most days that I feel somewhat better. Not that there are many. Now since the weather is getting warmer I wear flip flops (you can get some cute ones now). And I always wear a shirt that's comfortable but somewhat stylish. When I don't dress this way or put on makeup it makes me feel worse. I guess this is a way that I try to trick myself into not feeling sick all the time. I hope your fatigue gets better. There is a lot of medications out there that can help you with it. Just talk to your doc about it. Good Luck! I wish you well.

I am like reply 3. I wear comfy clothes, I have lots of track pants for winter for winter & lots of elastic/drawstring style summer pants, all very comfy. I wear polo/v-neck short sleeve tops in summer, long sleeve tops that are pull over the head cotton knit style & either vests or jacket/jumpers that are fleecy & range from casual to knit. Can look very nice & still be comfortable.

On days when I feel better, I put my clothes in out fits. A pair of pants ( in my case, jeans ) a pair of underwear and socks, and a T-shirt. This way when I am extremely tired I can just grab an outfit.

I brush my hair and put on a moisturizer with a hint of color. I use blush on my cheeks and eyes. I also use a swipe of mascara. I always keep a chap stick handy.

I hope you can talk to your doctor about this and get some relief!

Well, it has been tempting lately to maybe stay in PJs since I am (temporarily) unemployed and don't HAVE to go out every day. I suppose luckily my husband would probably give me a swift kick in the rear if I did, so I do make myself get up and dressed at a more or less reasonable time.
I admit, I am not putting on makeup unless I go out, and then my usual minimal light eye liner and lipstick (I do always wash my face and put on moisturiser morning and night.) From years ago my 'hairstyle' is pretty styleless, I just put it up. I don't even own a brush or use a comb, just use my fingers.
I prefer to put on knits, mostly because you don't have to iron them, but I am going to have to force myself to go out in the next few months and get a few different things. Everyone (including me) must be getting tired of the same old stuff!

As far as my clothes go, when I am home whether company is over or not I am just wearing a bra of course that I live in for a week or so, a pretty camisole, and pretty cotton underwear. Possibly I do wear a knit pair of shorts too; just not all the time. I don't get fully dressed when I stay home, because with other things on I tend to get caught when trying to go past a chair, the sofa, ANYTHING fabric grabs and keeps me from going anywhere but to fall on the floor! I have fallen WAY TOO MANY TIMES when I just tried to get past the chairs in the parlor and get to the bathroom. I also can't feel that numb right leg so I can only tell that my toes are dragging, caught on anything is when I am suddenly dropped onto the floor! So I wear a well overused pair of sneakers always so my toes aren't getting stuck anywhere. I need socks to wear the sneakers well too, so MOST of my at home clothes stop with these 4 items.


Now when I'm going out in public, I do get all dressed just like I always loved being the trendsettor, but my new handicapped style has gotten a bit sad/overused lately!! I only wear jeans out when I am feeling well enough to get around much because any jean seems to pin me down. I have a few pairs that I kept from long long ago that are DEFINITELY stretch type of jeans. NOT with an elastic waistband, just have alot of polyester and lycra in them but kinda just LOOK like regular jeans So I still look like a "normal" 30 somethin year old who obviously had broken her foot, knee or somethin that she needs to walk with crutches, sometimes the walker with the seat too!

The jeans are kinda like those pajama jeans that I've seen the commercials for on tv a couple years ago.

Other days its just one of the pajama lounge pants that I got from Old Navy long long ago back when I could just go anywhere when there was a really good sale goin on and I'd buy stuff JUST cause they were so cute looking to me!

All of the skirts I still have now are elastic waist banded so I can pull them on over my head. All those other types I've given away already; because it is just too difficult to make sure stuff was zippered right and tucked in just right so NO one could really see that I have any disease goin on...
Nevea I would be out in public wearin simple styled things back when I was 16 and sad that I didn't own all the styles that were in Seventeen magazine...

I am going thru extreme fatigue currently. My insurance wont approve Provigil. Havent heard from doctor on what else I can take.

Well I have always worn sweatshirts and shorts and/or leggings and I have a few sweaters for cold and t shirts for warm weather but NEVER high heels and thong sandals seem to work ok although now I have severe Raynaud's so toenail polish be damned as who wants to draw attention to intermittently purple toes? But I was always casual and in my other life I wore scrubs most of the time. I agree - comfort is key but neat comfort and OMG don't put on Spanx as you will surely kill yourself as anything confining or sometimes just touching my skin makes me go into panic mode. I think neat and clean, a little foundation and undereye cover with blush and if you are feeling good put on some lip gloss and keep your hair in a neat style that is wash and wear and you are good to go! Thank God grunge is in!

There are days when I have stayed in my pajamas all day long, laying around, feeling sorry for myself, and thereby making the depression spike way high. SO, even though I feel like crap, I try really hard to shower every day, wash my face at night, and do put make-up on even if it's just a little foundation and mascara. I LOVE the jeans with lycra in them so they are stretchy. I also LOVE Dansko shoes because not only are they comfortable and cute, but they are stable and I don't feel wobbly in them like I'm going to fall over. I just do as much as I can, when I can.

I shower in the afternoon or early evening the next day I wash the "important part" I ware skirts that have elastic waist they are below the knee so I can sit comfortably and not like a lady.
I ware tank tops with lose fitting nice shirt. When I buy cloths I buy thing that you can mix and match so one shirt goes with three for four bottom and vise versa
Head bands and ponies hide dirty hair.
I also ware walking short that go to the knee that also goes with the shirts.

As for make up I found pur minerals the best you can put it on in 2 min's
have ?'s about it pm me

I also found eating snacks through out the day fruit and protein help greatly'

Hope this help
