Changes in barometric pressure trigger worsening symptoms in me. The hardest symptom to battle is unrelenting severe pain 24/7. It is also not fun when my brain gives a command and the body goes “what did you say or even outright rebels and does something different than commanded” I think my nerves must use adolescent children as their role model.
Like you for me rest seems the best response when I sense a relapse. I become almost hypersensitive to touch and extremely fatigued. I hope your relapses are few and far between.
I get the hypersensitive feelings too. During a relapse, sounds get magnified and that drives me bonkers.
I just don’t like the unpredictability of the whole thing. Like you said, things don’t work the way you want them to and at just the times you want to feel good, you feel bad, and there’s not a thing you can do about it, but wait it out.
