5 Products That Helped Me Through My Flare Up

This flare-up has been a rough one. Different than others. Way more fatigue, not as much pain. More pins + needles. Less sleep. Fibromyalgia is weird!

Sleep? Not really happening.

Focus? LOL.

Nervous system? Over it.

(Buck Moon, are you done yet?? )

But even with the fatigue and brain fog, I’ve stayed with myself.

Rest hasn’t looked like deep sleep — it’s looked like softness (there’s that word again). Slowness. Listening.

Here’s how I’ve been caring for my flare-up body:

•  Pampering instead of pushing.

•  Gentle Pilates instead of grinding.

•  Intentional food instead of forgetting to eat.

And yes — a few things have actually helped:

•  The Good Patch Nite Nite

•  Visp Elixir Mixer

•  ModVellum Spray-On-Moisturizer

•  My heating pad

•  Pilates

None of it has been perfect this week.

But these little moments, movements and products have helped.

If you’re in a flare too — I see you.

Rest is still rest, even if you didn’t sleep.

Healing isn’t linear.

It’s human.
