I explain it to people as the worse flu feeling times 10. You are not alone

@A MyLupusTeam Member Hello from New Zeland, what you are discribing is indicative of active auto-immune inflammation that needs to be dampened down so as not to damage your healthy tissue/organs, systemically, that is anywhere in your body. Best not to put up with it, be pro-active and seek best treatment and minimise discomfort. Looking after yourself, helps with all relationships, as pain and discomfort is such a drain on all your resources. We Lupies know how hard it is for family dynamic's when we are unwell.

flare i describe as feels like a severe case of the flu, no energy low grade fever, aches and pains and just want to put head down, sometimes up to week now, initially that how i experiences auto-immune activity for the first two years. Physical exercises were beyond me, and i have always gone with the moot, rest the body, when the body is already doing battle

Yes, sore when I wake up and have to fight it just to get the kids to school. By 11:00 I usually feel a bit better (but still sore), but by the evening I am in so much pain. I find it very Challenging to be in a good mood and patient with the kids when I constantly hurt.
