How to keep pain down in a flare up?
I am having a really hard time with all over body pain. The best way to describe it is like when you have the flu/covid and your body is in a flare up of pain throughout. I also have arthritis like pain as well. It comes and goes, but it's been consistently unbearable honestly.
How do you help with the pain? Besides treatment, because I am in the midst of getting back to it and the waitlist is a bit long with my provider.
things I do:
-epsom salt baths
-infared sauna blanket
-pemf mat w/ heating (i think mostly jsut the heating part is helpful for my back)
-stretching
-kratom as needed when terribly in pain which seems more and more lately.
-I take a tincture I've been taking for a couple years with a mixture of herbs for lyme that usually keeps my flares down but having a bad one recently and it doesnt seem to help right now
