I am wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas or anything that helps to prevent a flare or at least preventing or relieving some of pain. I guess what I am trying to ask is, does anyone kind of know ahead of time when one of these flares are going to happen to them? A certain symptom or area where it usually starts or something along those lines. And if anyone does do they have any certain meds or treatments they use that can usually relieve or even preempt the flare from occuring. I am hoping this makes some sense. I know everyone is different, but I guess I am just looking for some ideas of what helps anyone cope or get some relief. Thank you Krank
