Stay prepared with your very own lupus comfort kit! Fill a small bag with items you know you’ll need to ease the pain and feel better. Keep it with you in your purse, the car, or wherever it will be easily accessible when you’re on the go! Here are some items we recommend including in your kit…
Lemons
If you’re experiencing a flare, lemons help to flush out the body and reduce swelling. Add some sliced lemons to your water and sip throughout the day to stay hydrated!

Healthy Snacks
The last thing you want to do when you’re not feeling great is to put unhealthy food into you’re body. If you’re having a difficult day make sure your lupus kit is stocked with healthy snacks like veggies and hummus, mixed nuts such as almonds and cashews, assorted berries, or sweet potato chips.
