Rest when you can. The house can always be cleaned another day. Your mental health is important ! Having an excellent support team does wonders for your mental stability. Watching what you eat, being careful with really acidic foods

Mmm, if you’re consistently feeling pain I’d def talk about medical options with your doctor, otherwise for particularly bad days I pop an OTC pain reliever like Tylenol when needed. And I’ve heard many patients have great success with CBD pills. But I’d talk to a rheumatologist first

I am currently fighting with my employer on this. I work for a prison absolutely love my job but they don't understand my condition and I cannot get intermittent fmla until I have been with them for a year only 4 more months. But I cannot put my chronic illness on hold for a year. They mandate me for 16 hours shifts constantly. Wish I had some advice for you hungry.

Staying out of the sun, wearing sun screen & hats, resting whenever possible, making sure I eat, trying to keep relaxed, candles & listening to music helps me destress, lots and lots of water, keeping your feet up, making sure not to over do it when I do feel like I have energy. Making my harder tasks easier. Mine are showering, making dinner and doing dishes. I have a shower chair and a stool for dinner and dishes. I try to make my dinners easier and meal prep. Just trying to save energy anywhere possible.
