Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi all, My Rheumy thinks I am nuts, so I am now asking those who actually suffer from RA the same question. I never connected this before, but I think what I am going through now (and have gone through many times), is a flare. My whole body hurts/aches. I feel very tired. I stand up and it hurts to walk from stiffness. My hands and wrists (I have RA in both) are swelling some and are stiff all day, feel hotter than usual, and hurt. My throat is sore and a bit burning, I feel like I have a cold coming on, and have flu-like symptoms. However, even though I feel like I have a cold coming on, I do not get one. This has gone on for 3 days, never getting any worse. As I said before, this has happened on and off for years. If it really were the flu, it would get worse and if it really really were a cold coming on, I think I would actually get one. Does anyone ever flare like this? I am getting to think I am nuts.
