What do I feel when I am in a fibro flare? What do we mean when we talk about flares, anyway? While making this video, I am in a huge flare. I can tell you firsthand how I feel at the moment of recording. I don’t know if this flare is just brought on by my fibromyalgia or other issues like my Hashimoto’s or Raynaud’s, or simply the change in weather.
Some natural treatments for stress.
A few days ago we launched a short poll which looked the triggers for flare ups from various different medical conditions. And we were interested to find that the most common cause of a flare (currently just below 50% of all respondents) is stress.
We have looked at different ways of dealing with stress in the past but new information is always gratefully received.
So we are delighted to share this infographic which offers seven natural treatments for stress.
If you have tried any of them it would be great if you could share your feedback in the comments section below.
Many thanks.
