Re: is this a flare?

Dear April,
I too dont know what constitutes a "flare" because if how I feel indicates one then I have been in it for a year with no letting up. Hope that makes you feel better, if you have any easing up of symptoms take it and be soooo happy. I would give my arm for a day of normalcy. Just a day or even half a day!!! I can say some days aren't as drastic but there is always a low level of this feeling in me that I cant describe. Oh well, que sera sera.

Take care,
Kim

April,
I've always understood a flare to be when your symptoms are worse for an extended period of time. You really notice that your worse.

Re: is this a flare?

April,
Boy, lots of things can trigger a flare. A period of stress, or illness. At times it seems that they just roll around on their own. Getting overtired can put you down. They tell ya that you should try to live on an even keel. Don't get to tired, don't overexert yourself. Pace yourself. Get enough rest. If you don't have a job and no kids, those things are possible. But if you have a job and kids, good luck meeting those guidelines!!
Fibro is not for the faint of heart. It's a challenge.

Take Care!
