Do you mean while having COVID-19 or just in general since COVID shut every thing down? Fortunately for me I’ve not had any GI issues during this time period.

It’s been kind of a stressful time since COVID-19 turned every thing on its side so maybe the anxiety and stress associated with it has something to do with your flare ups. They say stress can be a factor in flaring.

Hi.
I have been sick and is laying down a lot. I even end up with a bad manicures day that lasted more than one day. It could be stress related but thank God I don't have to go to the Hospital. Five of my doctors are on call in order to keep me away from the hospital. This coming week I have to do blood test one of the test is to check my organ function. On and off test shows that my body going after certain organs. I go outside when I am well but I am tired. Feeling like I am going around in circles between good and bad days. Anyways hope all is well with everyone

Hi.
Yes its a typo, sorry. My device made that error. It supposed to be "menieres". Thanks. I have been resting because the weather doesn't help. Me too but I will find out soon even though I have always been a poor tester when it comes to blood test, a lot of my doctors knows that.

Hi.
Sorry things are a bit crazy right now. I have Meniere's disease is the typo I made. I accidentally wrote I have a bad manicure day when it supposed to be bad menieres day.

I am getting a little bit better since I am on bed rest. But I have a lot going on therefore I don't join In as I want to. Miss you guys though.

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
