What to do when your chronic illness flares up

The Rest Room

If you live with chronic illness or chronic pain, chances are you’ll experience a flare-up of your symptoms from time to time.

Those flare-ups will look and feel different for each person, but whatever a flare up means for you, we hope this episode will provide you with some valuable tips and tricks to help you navigate them better.

Pain management physiotherapist Claire Campbell helps us understand what flare-ups are, what causes them and what we can do to mitigate and manage symptoms. She offers helpful advice on everything from managing external stressors, learning to put your health first and asking for help during a flare-up.
