Hi @Jan2441
I am sorry that flare sounded rough. Let's hope it's a good while before the next one. Mine vary so much sometimes months and months other times I think only days or even weeks between.
My only advice is to try not to worry about the next one but enjoy now while you feel a bit better. Perhaps don't do a marathon or anything, but enjoy the respite while it lasts. ((()))
Take care
Toni xx
