I like the phrase, "protecting your peace". I'm going to keep it at the front of my mind over the next week!
I don't have a good tip to share, but I will say that my pain levels are high enough that I simply don't have the desire to do much other than spend time with my husband and sons. It's not something I would wish on others, but I'm going to appreciate any upside to the situation. -Ava, lupus.net team
