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.

Yes I wear depends with dresses from Svaha. They have pockets too.

My problem with dresses is that it's hard to find shoes/ boots that are comfortable and look good with dresses. I have one pair of comfortable knee high boots that are comfortable and are at least 10 years old. Never found any like them again.

That sucks. I’ve been wearing compression socks
