Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi! I know this information is embedded in the archives and has been shared repeatedly when people share their stories....so forgive me for asking again. But, I've been trying to keep a flare at bay for several weeks. I've done a predinisone bumb...tried resting but I work full time (in the social services profession - too much work, not enough money, deeply demanding) and I'm a single mom. I'm trying to avoid more medicines. So, I'm wondering if there are things that 'you do' when you feel a flare coming on that have been helpful? I'm all for vitamins and supplements. But, if it's more sleep that's been helpful, diet tips, etc. creams, potions. -anything!!!! I've felt good, really good since March/April. I almost forgot (except for the medicines I take everyday) that I had RA. I've even lost 30 lbs this summer. I was able to predinisone, changing my diet and exercise on most days. I was almost ready to start to consider to date again. [i haven't dated since I got sick -almost 3 years now] I don't want to go back. Every day I feel like I'm losing more mobility in my hands, my fatigue/depression are increasing, and I'm less and less able to move about and I was just finally getting my life back. So, your tips are desperately needed!!!!!! Thanks , IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
