When I feel a flare up coming on I now have an emergency kit with steroids and an antibiotic I can take along with my usual medications. If it's the weekend I try o make it until Monday and hopefully get in to see my Dr. On Monday,so far so good! I've been hospitalized twice over the last 7 years. The 2nd time I was very sick and was life flighted to the big hospital 2 hours away. I'm hospital stay was 13 days. Since then I joined Carda Health and do in home excersizes it's a miracle. You work up to harder ones. I Love it and I do feel SO much better. I will continue to do this to keep going! Best wishes to everyone going through this!
