Keeping the Essentials on Hand
The best way to prepare for a fibro flare is to have a comprehensive list of things that you need on any given day. Start with the most important tasks and include important things that you need to have whenever you are in particularly bad shape. This should include food and medication.
- Canned goods and frozen foods – you should have enough foods kept in your home to feed you for several days. If possible, keep foods that are easy to prepare and meals that you can prep-up easily. Stock up on non-perishable items that you can keep longer and cook when needed.
- Specialty Foods – if you have allergies and you need specialty foods for your diet, you need to prepare for this as well. It can be difficult for anyone to shop on your behalf so it is a good idea that you buy these foods in advance.
- Healthy Snacks – the best way to beat those flares is to eat healthily. So when stocking up for food, avoid junks like candies and potato chips. But since fresh fruits and vegetables wouldn’t last for long, it is best to stock up on dried and frozen fruits or veggies. When buying snacks, choose those that offer nutritional value.
