Dr Judith R. Davidson, a Psychologist with clinical work and research focused on sleep disorders, talks to us about sleeping and pain with inflammatory autoimmune conditions. She discusses sleeping in the midst of flare-ups and symptoms that can make it hard to sleep properly, and gives us some tips and resources that can help.
Autoimmune flares don’t happen ‘out of the blue’, even when it feels like it. Epigenetics can help explain why. Think of it as the way your environment and experiences like stress, infections, sleep, hormones, diet, even medications can switch certain immune genes on or off, without changing your DNA itself. In RA, these switches can turn up inflammation, making joints suddenly hurt, swell, or stiffen.
