Recently the weather has been too hot for my pain and makes me flare more, but on flare days I usually don't have much, if any energy to go outside so that helps. Doing things such as lifting things with my arms hurts but I know that I need to try to keep them moving even though it hurts. I haven't had much of an appetite but I try to make shakes with protien in them for when I don't have the energy to make a real meal.
