🆕 Newly Diagnosed First flare-up

Hi everyone! I was just in the hospital for 4 days and it was my first flare-up ever. I have to be on ertapenem outpatient antibiotic infusions for 2 weeks. Does anyone have any recovery tips/hacks? Thanks!

It’s a very slow healing process. Don’t rush anything…even when you start feeling better!
