I had a Flare-Up one of my scariest. I had no idea what hit me. Normally they build over a week or a few days and I feel one coming. This one nailed me and I was comatose almost on the sofa for 5 days before I could drag myself to find my prednisone and start 60mg. My head was going to explode, my head burned, numbness down my face, my breathing was difficult, a horrible burn inside them with a stabbing pain. The pain in my joints was so overwhelming, my entire body I could not move. My speech was stuttered if I could talk at all. My legs weak. Like I said I layed almost comatose for 5 days before I had to get relief. I almost called an ambulance Tuesday nite but could not get or move to find the phone. I needed relief. I was trapped in my body unable to move but I heard everything. I just concentrated on breathing. The fatigue, I could not move. I started Prednisone 60mg Thursday and today is Friday (had 2nd dose). I feel like a new person. Still not sypmton free but able to get around. Has anything like this ever haopen to anyone here? This is a first for me to have an accute flareup. Please let me know if this is normal. I see my Rheum. doctor on Monday. This was scarey. :worried:
