Hi Melanie,
Yes, everything you describe can happen with a flare. Whether it was suppressed because of the pred, or it is stress induced, you are feeling a real reaction.
Your doctor needs to be brought up to speed so he/she can work with you to decide what action to take next.
If you have disability at your job, you may need to explore taking some time off to see if you are able to handle a return to work, or if you need to look into going off work.
Whichever, this is a decision involving you, your family, and your doctor. I wish you well.
Sally
