Lesley,

I believe that all flares, although similar, do become an individual experience. We learn to recognize it coming which helps to deal with. Mine start with a feeling of just needing to be left alone in a quiet space, I am very tired to begin with and just lay still. This is usually followed up with headaches, nauseau and facial swelling and then rash. The first time it was about 4 months before treatment - now I get on it fast and within a month I am feeling more normal.

Merry Christmas Everyone
