@kayleeinpink: Desperately seeking advice on mustering up the energy to take/prepare meds when you’re incredibly weak and/or in the middle of a flare up. Chronic illness friends, please send help. 🩷
I have systemic lupus, and I’m currently in flare. I’ve been this bad quite a few times. It’s hard. The most important thing is to stay in the meds. Meds fluids and rest. Are you able to keep your meds in your nightstand , or somewhere closer to you so that it won’t take as much energy ?

Hey girl! I have a little basket in my nightstand that holds my weekly meds (pre-sorted container) so I don’t have to get up. I also keep a rolling cart near the bed that has extra meds/ sterile water/ necessities so that I don’t have to get out of bed. I even keep disposable toothbrushes in my basket for nights that I can’t get up to brush my teeth.

Maybe get a pill case with a month supply and ask your husband to stock them for you? I’m so sorry you struggle so much! Prayers for you!

I got a press-on hook. Bought a little homemade bag off of Etsy and a 2 week pill divider off Amazon, as well a 7 day one for emergency meds. They’re hanging next to my bed. I also put other things I need in there like mini disposable toothbrushes (peach flavored!), some emergency candy as a treat, and adhesive lidocaine patches, as well as adhesive cold and hot patches. No one is doing extra work here if I can’t leave the bed.
