Please tell me this is normal for flare

It's been a pretty long time since I had a flare. Sometimes you forget just how weird and bad this monster is. I kept my 1.5 year old grandson Thursday night. He slept with me and tossed and turned all night. I hardly got any sleep. He also woke up at 7 am, and I don't normally get up until 8 to 8:30.
Anyway he left around 2:00 and I felt okay. I got my new piano keyboard and was trying it out for a little while. Well, this morning I woke up and felt horrible. My throat was killing me, I felt nauseated, bruised up all over, muscle soreness, esp in chest and shoulders, joints hurt and I felt weird! I didn't feel tired, but more or less my body was exhausted, kinda like breathing was taking too much energy.
It's scary to feel this, because it's been so long since I had flare like this. Is this pretty normal for everyone else? My skin has been driving me crazy with itching...but this has been going on for a few weeks, plus a stinging sensation. I also have this weird feeling in my leg. Almost feels like I can feel the blood pumping lol, maybe a deep weird tingling sensation.
Anyone else have symptoms close to this? Now in a day or two my throat won't even hurt. Also food taste is somewhat diminished.

Thanks for your 2 cents. Would like to hear this is fibro and Im not dying lol.
I also wonder if I have cfs. Oh my stomach gets all messed up and irritated, usually have the D. lol.
I think I was headed towards a flare because of my symptoms prior to thursday night, and that put it over the edge.

The crazy thing is, after reading about these mast cells, it kinda makes sense. I have had bladder infections all of my life, but in the last 5 years I feel like I have IC. I visit the md, they always find wbcs in my urine, even for routine urine tests. The itching has been going on for years. Sometimes it stays away for months. I always have this "rash" that looks like lupus to me, but I tested neg for that. I noticed if I eat healthier and drink only water it fades. Another weird thing is I do have tachycardia! It hovers around 100, but goes up a little. When I went to md for a possible bladder inf, my heart was staying around 115. This is crazy, I wonder if I do have this problem with my mast cells now. I have problems with too much keratin on my skin which causes bumps. Well around some areas my skin has some red patches and that fades with eating healthy and drinking water. I am going to try some otc allergy meds, change up to low histamine diet and see if I feel different. Im sure my md has no clue about mast cell dysfunction. I have no good fibro docs in my area.
