I use a variety of things as part of my flare up toolbox. I have a lot of allergies to medications and other things. Plus I’m allergic to pain medications and I do not believe in them either. I do use a muscle relaxer as needed at night, I soak in epson salt, I have a cannabis license, I walk and do stretches, I create a schedule that spreads my to-do-list out and do not over do it on my decent days.
On the mental health side...because pain is stressful and causes anxiety for me. I use candles, music, crafts, word searches, reading poetry to help keep my mood from slipping into depression.

Sorry for the slow response. I've been more tired than usual lately because of this heat, my depression, the loss of a friendship that I ended, and the death of my cat of 16 years.
Anyways, I'm sorry to hear that you have a lot of allergies. I've used cannabis edibles and pills in the past, but nothing worked. I even ate more than the required dose and I just ended up feeling dizzy.
What's weird is that nothing at the clinics helped, but one time my stoner cousin gave me a small lollipop with weed in it and it hit me hard an hour later. I laughed one second and was paranoid the next.
What do you take? What strain works for you? Does it help relieve pain? I need to do stuff that I like too and take it easy on chores as well. I think that I should start seeing a chiropractor again even though we have no insurance.
Massage salons closed down again here. Getting massages used to help sometimes.
