It is hard as you can be ok to feel awful the next day. It was hard for my husband especially when health can be so up and down. My specialist nurse was great I explained the problem and we had a joint appointment with her. It helped my husband to hear things from a health professional. He does struggle sometimes still however it is soooo much better.

i feel sorry for my husband who has to look after me when im in a flare up as he has his problems as well but it is hard for family or friends to understand what we go through unless they experience it i am so glad that i am not alone

Yes i know how you feel i am in flare and have been for two weeks now. one week before my period and one during. I am exhsusted, no energy, lung tightness very bad, breathless without moving around. had lupus for along time now and still find coping with flares difficult. it helps to know others understand because they know what it is like.
