Mine is bone tired fatigue, mouth sores and then the pleurisy starts. If it's really bad and I can't inhale without pain I start on the Prednisone series.

First its being bone tired which is one step past fatigued. Usually triggered by stress or overdoing. If I just bull head through it's followed by rashes in some very interesting places followed by being starving but unable to keep anything down then a fever if I get to the fever there's no way to stop the flare. But if I hydrate,rest, modify my diet and just get away from stress I can usually turn a preflare around. Oh and I don't exercise or put any more stress on my body until I feel better

Sore, stiff feet, fatigue, reactions to foods, skin irritations. If I pay attention, rest a lot more, avoid stressors, keep up the bone broth, turmeric, ginger, garlic, coconut oil and exercise (but not pushing quite as hard) I get through without getting so sick or taking so long to recover. Winters have been worse for me. This is the first one since I started Hydroxychloroquine so I’m hoping the joint issues and fatigue go easier on me this winter. I had to stop all my herbs and binders to have tests done. It will be interesting when I start up in a couple weeks to see more clearly how my symptoms respond.

Like LalaS I start with problems concentrating, fatigue, but also mood swings or feeling overwhelmed by the most stupid stuff ever, and than the bowel problems and the joint pain start too.

When I see it coming I just slow down and rest. Thank goodness I can just stay at home and rest.
