What's your flare up like?

I was having a fairly good day until I got home. I was sitting outside and a flare up smacked me like a ton of bricks. Sudden fatigue, muscle ache, flue like symptoms, inflamed joints, tingling legs, pain (×3), fog. Just feel horrible :( Sucks hearing my 10 year old put the baby to bed and telling him "mommy doesn't feel good" and my 2 year old saying "mommy your knee hurting?"

((((((Gentle hug))))))]

How sweet your babies care so much about you.
I hope you feel better soon.

My flares are intense right leg pain, flu symptoms, fatigue, unclear thinking. I literally sit on the couch with a heating pad on my leg. Oh, and an increase in the need for medication. (norco)

During bad flares i do up my meds some...i get side effects when i do...but feeling off from meds is sometimes better than the pain.i take tramadol..but in very low doses.....

I use a combination of heat, topicals, other devices , like light relief, mens, stretching the muscles out....
