Having lived with an auto-immune disease for over thirty years the other thing I've learned is that my body has a natural rhythm just like the tides. One of the things I've identified and shared with my doctors is my circadian rhythm. There are times of the year that my body has a flare. It took me a long time to understand the regularity, but now I know and I take precautions to prevent or minimize the flare of my health challenge. It's crucial that all of us get to know our bodies intimately. We need to know not only the visible, but the invisible like what triggers a breakout or flare-up. Paying attention to the signs and signals our bodies give us means being conscious and using that consciousness to stay on the path to wellness.
