I was wondering what most of you consider a lupus flare. Ache joints, not feeling good, ect. Or blood test that confirm a flare.

I feel like I have the flu 7 days a week all the time. But when it is so that I can not get out of bed... I assume its a flare. Had Lupus since age 11... got to know lots of survivors.. everyone has such different start to disease and progression. hope this helps
