could you elaborate on this?? as I said, I'm trying to understand, learn about CIPD variants. but seems most info is rather technical, medicalese--not the easiest reading for my dysfunctional brain.

When a big "flare" or episode like this occurs (with so much more pain & dysfunction) i do get worried-- scared that it may not be a flare or episode but sign that more, worse is eminent ....
perhaps if I knew more about my conditions I'd have a better understanding of what can occur, how to deal, etc.
I also wonder about other conditions that can mimic as well as others that may be emerge--
try to figure out what can, should i do??

Perhaps the only thing now is to wait till do see DR to see what he thinks & suggests. and to have more tests ....
anything I can gather before that may be relevant to discuss w/ DR would be good. All I can present now are my SX.


again, thanks,for your caring responses.... and all you give ....
