Flares and length of time

[DanL]

Just wanted to see what others are experience with flares. I know every child is different but what how many flares do you experience a year and the length of times (Days, weeks).

 

Thanks

It's so variable. We've seen flares last hours, days, weeks and months. The longer flares are usually infection triggered (strep & lyme), the shorter ones are most likely; exposure to infections in others, diet, stress, etc.

Incredibly variable. Short flares losing teeth, exposed to illness, having a cold or other minor illness. DS actually survived a bout of strep this summer without a flair. Did I say that? Knock on wood. Hasn't had a long or really tough flair since starting double abx for lyme disease a bit more than a year ago.
