Dealing with a Lupus Flare-Up: My Recent Experience

Last fall I was told my Lupus was in remission. Recently I started having joint pain, my ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers were hurting bad. My knees felt swollen but weren’t visibly swollen and felt warm. My hips were hurting too, that’s a new pain for me. I didn’t feel right, felt like I was getting sick but I knew it wasn’t that. I went to see my rehum and got blood work done, the rehum has not reviewed the labs yet but I got the results and Lupus is active again. It was a short remission period.
