Flares
For some reason when I am in a flare I don't recognize it. Joints become very painful. Sleep is poor, yet I am extremely tired. Just wish that bell would ring announcing it so that I would start treating it sooner. Right now I'm in a course of prednisone to help. My cane is necessary at this point as well as pain meds.
Those flares can sneak up on people,
. You're not alone! The pain and fatigue are very real and often overwhelming. One of our advocates wrote some of her tips for flares, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/stress-flare-tips that I wanted to share this with you. And this one is about the fatigue of flares, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/fatigue-flare-tips. I'm glad to hear that you've got a plan for right now. Is the prednisone helping? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
