Does anyone else get physically ill during flare ups? To me it feels as if my body has been poisoned it starts in my stomach with nausea no appetite then like a flu it just spreads through my body. I can feel it coming on as it progresses daily it could last a few days to a couple of weeks. Really knocking me down. I'm on Imuran and lyrica for 3 months.

yes i feel the same, its hard to explain whats really wrong with you, but its a sickly feeling and you can tell like you said a few days before its going to hit you. then during the flareup, its not just pain, but sick to the stomach, no appetite, just want to lay in bed cause of the sickly feeling. I feel like ive got a bad flu .

Absolutely! I almost feel like I have a touch of the flu. I just feel kind of achey, really fatigued, and most of the time the glands under my jaws will feel like they're inflammed.
