How to survive a fibro flare

After my flare last week I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of ways to survive a fibro flare. Luckily, I didn’t need any foreclosure help.

  • Take a warm bubble bath.
  • Get lots of sleep.
  • Make the house as quiet as possible.
  • Talk to your doctor. It might be a flare, but it might be something else.
  • Give yourself time. Most of my flares are stress induced. So when I get really sick I think “I can’t be really sick I have this & this & this to do.” This probably means that I stay sick longer than I would if I just relaxed & accepted it.

Wow, that list is a lot shorter than I had hoped. What do you do to survive a fibro flare?
