      Do not feel bad if you ever feel the need to use aids either like a shower chair or a wheel chair or braces. They help us have a better quality of life and not use all our energy trying to get through the day 🙃

        @ShaeJack21 I love my shower chair! I got it a year ago and it's helped so much!

        @ShaeJack21 Do you have a certain brand that you would recommend? I've been looking but haven't been able to decide!

      Getting rest and taking my time, staying hydrated with water and electrolytes. Staying mildly active to avoid muscle loss. Taking hot baths and asking for a back rub when I'm in pain...👍

      Cusack protocol has been a lifesaver for me. I was extremely skeptical but once I gave it a chance and just introduced the last supplement in the protocol I have improved so much. In addition getting a AFO brace for my right ankle has allowed me to live normally without fear of injury. Hirudotherapy has improved the rate of my flare ups but thats a very controversial therapy.
