Flare continues.

I was at the doctors yesterday as my throat had become really sore. Turns out I have a throat infection.

I hadn't realised that infections can impact upon your Lupus. My GP told me the infection exacerbated the Lupus causing a flare.

I have had one long flare since May and not getting better.

I need an appointment to come through to see my rheumatologist again to start treatment. Am in so much pain.

Rant over.
