Fibro Flare

Hi everyone, happy Easter to those who celebrate it.

I had an extremely busy day on Friday, much busier than normal and I know I over did it really but my 6 yr old niece was visitng and it's kinda hard not to when she visits (she lives quite a way from me so I don't see her often). I woke up on Saturday morning with a raging sore throat, hot one minute shivering the next, aching etc. I guess what I'm wondering is it a coincidence? or could this be a flare? I do have RA and also take Methotrexate so my immune system isn't brilliant, but this doesn't feel like a cold or flu, I just feel awful!

Any thoughts? And what's the quickest way I can recover lol? X

Sorry to hear you're not feeling too good reni73. It sounds like a flare, my body tends to react like this when I have overdone things. The quickest way to get better, I find, is to rest and rest. Listen to your body, what would you normally do if you had flu? That is how I deal with a flare anyways. Oh yes, keep up your fluid levels, plus hot drinks too. Hope you feel better soon, gentle hugs, Julie xxx

Hi reni73

I am so sorry to read that you are feeling so ill at the moment and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue.

It very well could be a Fibro Flare, however, there are a lot of viral infections doing the circuit at the moment. My daughter and grandson have had a nasty sore throat and cough. Also, my son has picked up a nasty cold type of virus at work.

I genuinely hope that you start to feel better soon.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Resting is the normal reaction to overdoing it but how does that work in a flare? I wont say moderate activity because that would have been no fun. Only you can really sort that one. I tend to go for it knowing there's a price to pay later. I hope you feel better soonest and here are some frankincense scented hugs.
