Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Hi all I have a question about flaring. I am interested as to what defines a flare. Do people's flares last hours, days, weeks? Are they all different? Does it mean a sudden rise in the aches and temperature? I can have days when I don't feel too bad, followed by dreadful days with really achy bones and a much higher temp and feeling like I'm about to come down with the flu, although I never do. Unfortunately, as I'm only on p'killers, I can't adjust my medication, apart from take more p'killers! I did get a few odd rashes last week, which I tried to photograph, but it's not easy taking photos of your own knees... Anyway, I hope few are flaring today. Much love C 2 (UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 All I know is my last flare 6-7 months ago I just knew well coulda been the temp of 41celcius twice a day,almost unable to even move joint pains real bad,(I dont consider a bad day at least for me constitutes a flare).The flare I had lasted close to a month but wasn't as bad as my onset,but pretty damn close lol.Odd pains come and go without notice and its pretty hard to tell a flare but if you get persistent really high fevers that's when I know sumthins up.Its all new to me too C2 and so far I have thought I was goin into a flare about 3-4 times and poof I feel better.Heh even the doctor in ER and my own rhumy said I was flaring I DONT THINK SO they were wrong to.Take care I prob just made you mare confused though huh ohh well its a crazy disease and every1 probably has there own version of a flare but for me the fevers drove me insane. d.Canada Flares - question Hi allI have a question about flaring.
