hoping you get out of this terrible flare......and soon! hugss

you've been my inspiration, just wish what you've taught me would start working again for you:

off of work the last 2 weeks, so sleeping more.......
the days i sleep too long, i wake feeling a flare coming on,
but i jump in the shower,
then down the vitamin C and fish oil,
get out for a walk (1-1.5 miles, whatever i can do, and on the bad days, i take my camera so i walk and stop and walk and stop and really pace myself),
then come in and eat as much "antiinflammatory food" as i can think of,
after about 6 hours of being up, i finally feel like the flare is being aborted......

then i go to sleep and the process repeats itself.........
combatting this "naturally" sure is a lot of work!

but i often think of you (and others) as i do the various tricks everyone here has taught me heart
