Chores And Pots

---anything involving a maximum amount of sudden exertion

--anything involving a high level of noise can produce a stress flare in my immune system/nervous system

I couldn't take part in this one as I can do little in the way of chores and have a carer.

[DeGenesis]

Anything that involves bending over.

Laundry is the worst for me, although vacuuming really wipes me out, too. I'm so glad to have a family that only needs me to do either every once and a while.

I dont do anything on that list other then cleaning my room up

So, odd question but I have a really big problem with daily living skills since my symptoms started acting up again.

Laundry, making my bed, and just picking up things on the floor when I straighten my room are especially BIG problems for me. The bending, sorting, standing, folding, moving from washer to dryer (especially) all cause some really serious lightheadedness and near fainting symptoms (I loose my vision mostly - it just tunnels to dark and I get really off balance). I don't usually pass out, but it's not out of the question either.

Does anyone else have these issues? What do you do to cope with them? Do you have a method that helps at all? I'm willing to try anything at this point. :-/

This is exactly what a occupational therapist is for! A alternative would be a living skills trainer that could assist you threw your local living skills center. They help you develop ways to accomplish those tasks independently. I recieved help before threw living skills center (because of asperger).
