We’re excited to share a SPS patient resource presented by Dr. Tara Zier at the 2024 SPS Symposium: the SPS Self-Care Toolbox.
This resource highlights practical strategies for individuals living with SPS to manage their symptoms and improve overall well-being.
This “toolbox” is all about finding personalized remedies to address physical, emotional, and lifestyle challenges.
Dr. Zier emphasized that, like a toolbox filled with different tools, SPS management often requires a multifaceted approach tailored to your specific needs.
Some key takeaways from the Self-Care Toolbox include:
Medical and Psychological Support: Trust your care team and explore emotional support like trauma therapy and EFT tapping.
Education and Advocacy: Equip yourself with knowledge about SPS and advocate for your care needs.
Lifestyle and Therapy Adjustments: Incorporate evolving physical therapy and dietary changes.
Mindfulness and Social Connections: Manage stress, practice mindfulness, and connect with others for support.
Purpose and Resilience: Find a personal purpose to stay motivated and focused, no matter the challenges.
You can watch Dr. Zier’s full presentation and access the accompanying resource.
We’d love to hear from YOU!👉 What tools or strategies have you added to your own SPS Self-Care Toolbox?👉 Which of these takeaways resonates most with you, or what have you found helpful for managing SPS?
