How can I make laundry work less painful?

Minimize bending and lifting

Lots of shelves and a folding table at waist level in the laundry room will help with the bending and lifting.Remember that arms down or at least no higher than waist level is the optimal position for people with fibro.

Use a grabber to reach into the dryer instead of leaning over and into the dryer. Saves on the back, arms, and leaves you feeling less worn out.
