A flare doesn't attack you, it's just the sound of your body finally losing its patience after being ignored all day.

It’s that feeling of being constantly blindsided, like your symptoms are an unpredictable enemy that hits without warning.

But the attack only happens because the smaller warnings weren't loud enough to stop you.

Recovery starts when you catch the early, quiet question: Are we safe? Answering that tiny whisper stops your over-protective brain from escalating into a panic.

By giving yourself a safe heads-up early, you prevent your body from shouting to get your attention.
