Does anybody know why a person would get flares while in remission? At my last doctor's visit, they gave me a tonne of questions to determine if what I was going through were in fact flares or that's just how my body behaves. She told me that some flares are so bad that a patient has to be hospitalized for it. Well, thank God it wasn't like that for me. But even up until last night, I had the crusting in the nose which hasn't happened since last summer and the nosebleed along with it. Also, the harsh coughs are back since last week. Wegener's can be really hard to understand when it comes to the symptoms. I feel bad for asymptomactic Wegener's people because you can't really complain about what's not bothering you...while it's damaging you.
