Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Steve, I think " flare " is roughly defined as when you're having those big pain in the keester symptoms. LOL. I usually get three or four days of good relief with the meds I'm on where I have only very mild joint pain, very hazy mild rash in the evening, and sometimes a mild fever. One day a week, sometimes two, I feel almost cured. Then one or two days a week I feel like total crap and hurt everywhere, usually the day or two before I'm due for methotrexate. So I'd say I'm in a flare, but most of it is controlled by meds. I think " remission " is when symptoms are gone (although maybe a mild to moderate, lingering arthritis?) and you're off all meds. Hope that answers your question. in Maine > > Are these symptoms there all the time now or just during flares? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
