Dealing with Chronic Illness: Is This Normal?

I had the same problem. I have fewer problems since being on methotrexate. I do stool have problem, mainly with my joints. I take Celebrex, Methotrexate, Plaquenil and Folic Acid. For now the needs are keeping me the Lupus pretty well controlled. I still have some bad days, but not as severe as before.

I'll be ok and out of nowhere I feel a flare coming on. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

I feel you. It's so frustrating at steroids mess with my Bipolar 2 so bad I hate to even call my rheumatologist.

100% same here…I’m so frustrated and over it all!! 😩

I have flare ups everyday. So i understand.
