Plan for Flares
“I have a 6-month old, and I recently experienced a severe flare,” says Jamie D., of Chelan, WA. “I knew I was going to need a plan for when I was running to the bathroom 10 times a day on the days my husband was gone. (He’s a firefighter, so I’m home alone two or three days a week while he’s on shift.) I make sure to keep my son’s little chair and blanket on the floor in the bathroom at all times. If you have a quick and safe place to put them, it will make the situation a little easier if you don’t have someone there to help you.”
