      Sacral cranial therapy really helps

      I can relate. I don't have flares per se, as I'm symptomic all the time but some hours or days are worse than others and when it gets really bad it feels like I'm literally trapped, imprisoned in a body that doesn't doesn't right and that feeling is downright awful. It's just hard to come to terms with the fact that this is the body I got, and I can't make it be healthy. I might continue to feel sick every day all day for literally the rest of my life. It's definitely not easy to come to terms with this kind of stuff.

      I’m really sorry that things are feeling worse again. It’s frustrating when the body isn’t functioning like it used to/what we’re used to. You’re not alone in this pain even if it feels that way. Is there anything that makes your symptoms or your mental status feel even a little better during times like these?
