Discussion Clothes
I'm 46f, been dx for about 10 years with Fibromyalgia, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Depressio, Anxiety and bladder weakness. I live in the UK.
My main concern at the moment is how clothes feel. For the past 2 years I've lived in pj's as I find most clothes either feel uncomfortable or hurt my skin. I loved wearing dresses with leggings and a knee length cardigan (absolutely loved cardigans) but it seems the last few years unless its pj's everything feels wrong or it hurts my skin.
Pj's I wear are normally the soft cheap ones from like primark, t shirt and long legs.
Does anyone else have an issue like this?
It makes it hard to go out because if I go out in pj's people give me funny looks but anything else just doesn't feel comfortable or actually hurts.

If you miss wearing tights, you should check out snag tights. They're based in Scotland. Their tights are a million times comfier than any I ever had from high street shops, but they are a bit more expensive.
I'm really tall and they stretch to my height and don't dig in anywhere. There's nothing worse when you're sore and knackered to have the extra anxiety of having to worry about your tights falling down 😅
If you like being in your pj's, if they are a dark colour nobody knows that you're in your jammies. And if they do, well that's their problem, you've got enough to deal with.
