Learn more about it
Endeavor to know more about it and not just to yourself but also educate your family and friends. Learning more about the condition would help you know what to expect and give you a sense of control over it. It would also help a lot more if you carry your family and friends along by telling them what to expect with your condition and what kind of support you need. Primarily be as open as you can be about it to your family and friends since they are the ones you be around with mostly.
If you have your loved ones around you and they are knowledgeable about the disease, you can be sure that you would be less stressed. Giving that stress is a known trigger for flare-ups.
