On vacation finally! A few things to reach out about.

There are no see ums here at the beach. The only thing that keeps them away is Deet based bug repellant. Any ideas? 

Also it's so hard to be perfect here diet wise. I went shopping over a hour away to the only whole foods to get what I need and fingers are crossed. Lots of potatoes and romain, zucchini and rice for the next 10 days. My first two days before whole foods was like survival at my friends house. Praying I don't flare like crazy. Using prelief for the first time ever because my flares were so bad I almost didn't travel.(remember I am hoping to see the Brizmans this fall so I am a evicted newbie).

I have my list one with me and am hopeful thatbthehappiness and sunshine will counterbalance my fears!

also does anyone notice that their flares happen up to five days after imperfection? Mine seem to behave that way...

Anyways looking to reach out to those who have not been able to be perfect and who have been away from home on vacation for mental and practical tips...the fear sometimes brings on the flares too in my opinion. At least the condo has the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in in my entire life!

sendiing out love and good thought Stovall in the meantime. Thank you!
