I believe stress and unhappy work life has caused my current flare although I have to say I was extremely stressed last year too and remained in remission.
2013 I moved my job, moved towns, had a car accident, planned a wedding, lost money, hated my job, stressed to the gills, family dramas, worrying about health and money and family, PLANNING A WEDDING! Looked for another job, moved back to my mums and started a new job. And I didn't flare!??
2014 has been another hectic year but its mainly been work that I've had issues, I was bitten by a child and had to have anti biotics/ HEP B booster, more attacks from children, stress at work, feeling isolated, being forced to see occupational health, stress stress stress, moved house, worried about my health, hubby's health, mum's health and my sister got diagnosed with Lupus this year.
I think overall last year was just as stressful but then I had the good mixed in.
When I flared this year I took the hint and have handed my notice in at work. I have a new job starting in the new year which isn't so full on but is a 20 mile commute.
