Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Usually flares for me are horrible pain, stiffness, swelling and some fatigue. Right now I have moderate pain, fairly mild swelling but 2 'nodules'...one on my thumb and one on my left ankle came up in the past 10 days or so and really terrible exhaustion...I would not call it fatigue. The exhaustion hits me suddenly, and I am SO tired I feel nauseous and cannot keep my eyes open. Sometimes I sleep for just an hour or less and sometimes a couple. I feel somewhat better when I awake but not good. Anyone have this kind 'flare'...if that is what this is? I see my pcp next Tuesday and of course will talk to her. I just do not feel right. Thanks for your thoughts. Cheryle -- " The path before all of us sometimes is strewn with shards of glass and this world does not always provide strong, protective shoes. So as the poem " Footprints " says, God will carry me, when I cannot carry myself. He loves me enough to do that for me...I surrender this struggle and am crawling up into His arms.
