I water fast for 2-3 days and my flare ends usually after the first 24 hours.

I get into a hot shower and cry.

Just try to rest, if really bad can't do no other, it is horrible, hope it passes soon, if not see your doctor and get steroid injections in worse area

Anyone who uses hot baths/showers always remember to use lotion for the dry skin. I used hot baths for years before I was diagnosed and now my skin is so dry it is unbelievable! I have a hard time remembering lotion because I never got into the routine of using it so save yourself from my pridacment and make it a part of your routine as much as possible.

I go to bed and sleep, drink tea then rest & sleep till it subsides.xx
