Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 , I have not posted in a bit, but I continue to read all posts. My doctor believes that BCP were my trigger too. I figured once I went off the pills, it would be gone. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. I had a flare up last summer...it seems stress is a trigger for me now. I am sorry that you have so many bumps. I don't get many bumps, but they tend to get the size of grapefuits. I have stayed away from prednisone completely and rely on bed rest/elevation,cold compresses, and aleve. I know that bed rest is hard to do, but I work in retail on my feet all day....some 12 hour days and it is the best thing you can do for yourself. Just remember...you are not alone and this wonderful place here...helps all of us get through the tough times and memebers who are feeling good need to remember to give support to those who are not feeling good. It might not go away, but sometimes you find the right things that work for yourself to make it easier to deal with a flare up.
