Debbie - You have been through a major stressful event. It stands to reason your body is reacting. If you remember, I had a flare from he!! after my dad passed away. The flare began a few weeks before he passed away but it lasted much longer than it should have. I know that was due to the stress. As Wiz said, rest and some pampering will help.

As for your question, no I don't call if I think I am in a psuedoexacerbation. If I recently had a virus or infection, I don't go in. If I am close to starting my period, I don't go in (which, btw, some of my symptoms increase right before my period). If I had a stressful event, I don't go in. However, if the symptoms become really bad, I will call them and see what they suggest.

If I experience any new symptoms or an increase in symptoms I don't experience all the time or increase in symptoms that I normally deal with that lasts longer than just a few days or a combination of these, I call whether or not any of the above is going on.
