What is your go-to item or ritual for finding physical comfort during a flare-up or a hard health day?

Whether itโ€™s a specific pillow, a favorite tea, a warm bath, or a cozy blanket, we want to know what brings you relief. Join the conversation!

  1. The shower- I don't know what else to do-

    1. , the shower is a good place to start!

  2. During a flare my world gets very small. My go to is heat on my lower abdomen and back, lights dimmed, and slow breathing until my body stops bracing. Sometimes Iโ€™ll put on something familiar in the background just so I donโ€™t feel alone in it.

    On slightly better days, a warm shower and clean bedsheets feel like a reset. Nothing dramatic. Just small comfort that makes the pain feel less hostile.

    1. Thank you so much Donna. And yes I do have and I am included in few local support groups.

    2. , you're most welcome <3 I'm so glad to hear that you have local support. It is so important. Have a wonderful weekend, and just shout if you need us. -mWarmly, Donna (Team Member)

  3. Heated blanket

    1. , yep! I love heated blankets and I am glad yours brings you comfort on the rougher days of living with a rare disease.

      Best, Erin, Team Member.

  4. Sleep

    1. , yes! When all else fails, sleep is a good option!

      Best, Erin, Team Member.
