I'm really struggling with loads of pain and really bad fatigue. I think I might be fighting off a virus that the kids have got. It always seems to be this way - I don't necessarily have the symptoms that they have, but just ache loads as if I have really bad flu, and am really tired. This time I feel worse than ever.
Do others get like this when fighting off bugs? Feeling rather sorry for myself today

Hi Susie, yes I am exactly the same! Last time was a few weeks ago after I flew back home from the UK. Same thing, aches and pains and that terrible dragging exhaustion. Dx
Everything of mine flares as I react to virus.. quite foul! Mary F x
I am on my third cold since Christmas and am really struggling. Have been feeling very tired with low energy. I keep telling myself that "this is only a cold!" but feeling really rough.
So is it worth us having the flu & pneumo jabs then do you think? I've had bronchitis for the whole of this winter and I had it the whole of last winter too. Hoping things improve as my littlest gets older and brings less bugs home!
Take this with a whole box of salt because I do not remember where I got this info: that the flu shot will not aggravate lupus/APLS patient immune systems, but the pneumonia shot may. Please feel free for anyone to annotate or correct this info.
Does pregnancy cause antibodies to flare?
How do I stop worrying?!?!
What do others consider amounts to a flare?
Do you work with APS, Can you work?
The light at the end of the tunnel has been temporarily turned off!
