Interesting that stretching helps you after the fact - that's good to know. <br /><br />And just as you say - staying AHEAD of the game makes life so much easier. And that's true whether or not you have lupus!

I've been there, too, but now realize just how important it is to give in to my body when it's calling out for help, rather than trying to "will" myself to push through. It's amazing how much our body will take (sleep, for one) when we let it!<br /><br />Keep up the preemptive moves and thanks so much for sharing!Sara Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608238591846611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-1308246078973463752010-01-16T18:51:55.627-05:002010-01-16T18:51:55.627-05:00I also have preemptive moves.

(nightshade veggies sometimes cause me joint pain if I eat too many of them). Also trying to stay ahead on work and chores allows wiggle room for extra rest when needed.d'Artagnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027328289217391930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-42023714467155104402010-01-16T09:19:21.622-05:002010-01-16T09:19:21.622-05:00It is crazy that I sleep so much the next day (or ...It is crazy that I sleep so much the next day (or two) after a night out. People look at me and I know they must be thinking, "How can she be so tired?" ...<br /><br />Once, I was hoping to cure myself with positive mental thinking, like, if you think you can fight lupus, you therefore CAN .. well, didn't work, I landed myself in the hospital for weeks :(<br /><br />Yours a great post, I guess I should learn some preemptive measures too (with lupus!)<br /><br />Take care!lupiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07094327744142383965noreply@blogger.com
