Rest is the only answer!
When I get a flare, which are much worse in the summer months! The only thing that really helps is rest! Family really don’t understand and still expect you to carry on as normal, that makes life so hard…..how does everyone manage their every day life and still keep family happy?

Oh my goodness...I'm sorry, I got distracted by the adorable cuteness of this pup!
What a cutie, I bet he can make even the worse days a bit better!
In the meantime, please let me say that so many in this community share your sentiments. It's so hard for others (not affected by Lupus) to truly understand.
Hopefully others will chime in here with some helpful suggestions.
I'm sharing a few links that you may find helpful: https://lupus.net/forums/family-support, https://lupus.net/living-coping and https://lupus.net/living/support-from-loved-ones.
Having a good support system can make a significant difference. Increased awareness and education can help. If possible, you may try to share these articles (or this site lupus.net) with family members.
Always know we're here for help and support, Doreen Team Member)
