I don't think there's anybody who can give you an answer. We all react differently. I have been off meds (MTX & Biologic) for three weeks without getting a flare, but got a some when on the meds. It's the peace of string question. I hope you get better very quickly and shoo the flare away. All the best.

I did not take my MTX for 2 weeks over the Xmas period. Everyone around me was coughing so I thought I'm going to get it too, which I did. Five folk I know then tipped into flu.

Thus far I have avoided the flu (touch wood). After 2 weeks my right foot started to become a wee bit sore so I restarted the jabs and my foot is a wee bit better.
