How do you know when a flare is coming on?
Welcome everyone!
How do you know when a flare is coming on? Are there certain things that trigger it? And what is your first step in trying to manage a flare? I know stress is a big factor for me. I usually feel an ache in my body and an unusual need to stretch (like a good morning stretch, but all of the time). When I feel it come on, I try to ramp up the positive thoughts, get more sunshine and activity going, and drink more water. What do you all do? I know we are all dealing with different types of chronic illness and different symptoms, but it would be interesting to see similarities as well. I have chronic Lyme Disease as well as Bartonella, just FYI.
