Flare Question

I am new and keep reading about flares. What exactly is a flare as I feel uncomfortable every day but I do notice that certain times of the day I feel much much worse. How long does a flare typically last? What causes it? I am going to read the Fibro 101 now but would appreciate personal experiences. Thank you.

Hi Faith,

A flare is when you over-do something and your body really speaks back to you! You ever have those days when you are all out cripped from something. It could be short period of pain like for a few hours, day, or more depending on what you did to get you in that situation.

Does that make sense?
