Lori, I think that is the same newsletter that I get and I was hoping

someone would be able to post it here! I often get some good

information from that site.

Patients tell us not to wait until the pain is out of control before

taking steps to manage it. Recognize or admit that you are headed for

trouble. Take a deep breath and don't panic. Think back to another

episode that you seemed to manage fairly well, taking note of what

worked and what did not. Members told us they combine medications

with mental diversionary tactics and a touch of pampering to see it

through symptom flares.

> Slow down your lifestyle and physical activities for a while.

Lessen the stress to reduce anxiety. Getting the whole body warm was

a very important step in overcoming a flare according to the majority

of our Members. Suggestions include hot baths, hot showers, hot

packs, wraps, ointments, skin creams, foot baths, heating pads,

thermal wraps, saunas, and sunshine. Get comfortable and relax as

soon as you can sneak a break from your work schedule.

> " I adjust my expectations of what I need to get accomplished.

Amazingly, I found out that the house, dishes, yard, etc. don't go

anywhere if I don't do the work. I finally learned to stop making my

family and myself crazy about it. I just have to stop and do what's

necessary to help myself. "

I did not Subscribe though. 28.00 a month is too much for someone who is not

working. My husband makes good money, but I would feel guilty if it was not me

paying for it. It looks like there is some great info there though.
