      Stay positive. Ice packs can help with inflammation pain my Chiro said ice at night and heat like hot shower or hot wash cloths for morning. And mint oils roll on any wear hurts help more tolerance to what hurts to

      Flair ups are not fun when happens. But I found out when stay busy and focus on working out and drinking lots water and not overthink about pain the pain at times is more tolerable. Also helps to talk to people who also have lupus to get feedback. 🤗

        @JoJo88 I can’t work out because of recurrent pericarditis and my pain is much more severe than most patients sadly I’m not on pain killers yet but I should be I’m completely disabled from it the pain I experience from inflamed organs and things is excruciating I throw up from the pain and am often bedridden for weeks at a time I’ve just started Azathioprine which I hope helps but I also have a bunch of other conditions and things they think I have that makes stuff much worse

          @Igglepiggle praying for you. Stay positive. Stay hydrated. If can’t work out still go to do light stretches to keep muscles moving and drink lots of water. Stay calm. Know you not alone.
