From what you shared in one of your earlier post, You asked what we would call a major flare, it sounds like you had a major flare when you stayed in bed for three days and the difficulty of getting a bath. Most of us discuss the fatigue and pain. But there are times flares can cause many symptoms. Hope this helps.

I will suffer from costochondritis, fatigue that makes my bones hurt all over, my hair falls out, too exhausted to chew food, the feeling that I can’t take one more step-literally collapsing and just wanting to sleep all day and night.
