Flare ups

Hi

I see on here about flare ups and I just wanted to ask how long does a flare up last ? I know everyone is different but I just wanted to know what the average time frame is.

Not much experience, what goes up and up and up must go down eventually?

Dr Google says 2-4 days. Seems about right from my experience

Well then, seems like Dr Google is wrong! I know, hard to believe. 😉 It did resonate with me though. Hopefully, some others will chime in. It'd be great to see some genuine research results as well, if anybody can point to that.

I have had flare ups last for months,never just for a couple of daysSome people don’t have flare ups and have symptoms all of the time.I am grateful I do have a couple of weeks respite now and then.Don’t think 8 weeks is at all unusual.
