I agree Anne, though my docs say the same thing, I can feel the differences in allergy reactions and good old WG attacks on my sinuses...sniffles...

I hope this is not a flare but if it is :0( I hope you can knock it out before your vacation. I too flare the same time of year, in August. Hmmm. Be well and I hope tomorrow is even a better day for you.

Sorry to hear of this, Bob! Get thee to the dr. and check it out! Good luck. Where are you heading for vacation?

I'm so sorry you're going through this! I really do hope it's not a flare and you get well soon, so you can enjoy the trip!

We are going to Disney World again...was my son's request. Taking my sister and her family along this time.

The way I feel I'm 90% sure it's a flare, but you never know. The fatigue makes me more certain than the pain to be honest. Left a message for the Doctor and getting my bloodwork tomorrow. On the bright side the insurance company approval is already done from last year.

I can understand that.
I have severe shoulder pain again too, but since I'm not so tired, I think it's not a flare, in my case.

Good luck to you, I hope you will be able to go to Disney World with your family!

Well it's definitely a flare. Felt really bad yesterday which was good so I didn't minimize thngs when Dr Villa Forte called lol. So once again back to 20mg of Pred...hoping that with my regular Immuran might be sufficient, supposed to call back in 1 week if it doesn't. Of course I already feel a bit better since Prednisone kicks the inflamation down fast. Glad I got the bllodwork drawn before I started the Pred...kinda want to see if it was out of line.

Sorry to hear it's a flare.... sounds like the one I just got over.... also kicked back up to 20mg. pred and increased my MTX. I got good results and am now heading back to 10mg. pred. I hope you're able to see improvement soon and will be able to enjoy your trip to Disney World.
