Title: You know you're in a flare when....

It's 100% humidity and you wake up with eyes dry with sticky goop.

It is the middle of the night, your eyes are closed and you can not turn off the blinding light.

There is a change in the weather and your hands and feet swell up and all your joints are in pain.

In my case, when my eyes hurt like if somebody was sticking pins in them, my eyelids are puffy and my parotids are swollen.

Do you relate these flares with stress or "bad days"? I think, I dont know if it is my imagination, that if I am anxious or stressed by something in my job or daily life, two days later I start with these symptons.

Does it happen to you?

You know when your in a flare when you remember a newbie telling about his/her eyes hurt as if somebody is sticking pins in them and stressed out a few days before, and you feel the same way!

Just feel like someone injected me with a poison or something? worst feeling ever!!! so toxic.
The fatigue, joint pain, headaches, dizziness, stomach, just overwhelming. A lot of extra dryness.

I get an itchy spot on my hand, feels like a baseball bat hit the back of my head, my parotids swell, I ache all over and I'm too dry to cry!
