The first tingle is your best window
If there is one thing worth repeating, it is this: the hours right after that first tingle are when you have the most influence over what happens next. Keep the area protected, do not pick or stretch it, and ease off whatever is stressing your system. What is your go to move the moment you feel it coming?
Congrats on the good run, that is a real achievement.
I keep a balm in every pocket now, it really does help.
Sleep makes a huge difference for me, more than I expected.
