who hates flares? i do. i was feeling so good and being able to go out and enjoy life, the weather, friends, ect... but now i'm bombing. my knees are swollen and everything feels like its falling apart. :( physically that is. and i'm super uncomfortable because whenever i flare, i get really anxious. does that happen to anyone else?
my rheumatologist is on reserve duty for who weeks, dr. bello, so i won't be seeing him for a while. oy. does anyone have any suggestions on how to get through this, minus heating/icing, more meds, or physical therapy moves? thanks guys!Oh! I just love flares. The throbbing, the warmth, the burning heat...
showers, heating pad, pain meds, tv, bed, pillow, snacks and a locked door. The best flare cocktail for me!
Are you only taking the steriods for a week? Or you been on a low dose?
