Hello everyone hope everyone is doing ok. So I’m having a bad flare up my body hurts so bad, my joints hurt everywhere ,hips,knees,ankles,nuckles… It’s been a very stressful couple of weeks at work, and the weather is changing not quit sure which one is causing my flare up- maybe both any suggestions …
Hi, Michelle. Sorry you aren’t feeling well. I try to take it as easy as possible while I’m in a flare. I always make it a point to try to control what I can. I try to reduce stress at home if it’s not possible at work. This for me means low-key evenings to myself with easy prep meals, soothing Epsom baths and my trusty Tiger Balm ointment for muscle and joint pain. If the flare persists or your pain is just intolerable or you experience any new symptoms, consider checking-in with your doctor for pain relief options and to be sure something else isn’t going on to cause the exacerbation. I hope you start feeling better soon.
Hugs,
Laurie
