Welcome to the forum, sorry you have to be here because of this rotten monster of a disease. Don't stress, stress will make you flare more. Try an Epsom salt soak. I did it the other day and it helped a lot with my inflammation. I wish I could help more. This is a very helpful forum. The people on here understand exactly what you're going through. I have learned so much on here that has helped me. I hope you do too. We don't judge. If you need to rant, we will listen and try to help as much as we can. Are you going to a PM?
