Out of remission!
Last week, I had my first major lupus flare since my DS surgery in 2009!
When I say major, I don't mean the kind that sends you to the hospital...I mean the kind it takes a week or more to come back from. I had been in remission for a year and a half!
I think it has somethng to do with my incrase in activity since my weight loss, especially outdoor activities.
I use 50+ SPF sunblock.
Don't forget to factor in the emotional aspects of this flare! I found that flares tend to be around times when I have a difficulty saying no. But then again, it can as simple as exposure to certain drugs or environmental conditions (eg. UV light fixtures). Hang in there - you can conquer this one too!
