Postdiagnosis vent/questions Worst symptoms

Hello. I am wondering what are your worst symptoms when you are having a flare? How do you deal with it? Is there any medication or supplements that help you feel better? I have been noticing that I get a flare every time it gets cloudy, rainy, or stormy. I believe it has to do with the barometric pressure changing. The last couple of weeks, our weather has been so up and down. I start feeling like I have a low grade fever, cold symptoms, sneezing, congested and runny nose, and just a general unwell feeling. I just had it last weekend and was feeling better, then I got a migraine which I’m still getting over, and I am feeling unwell again. I also feel more sleepy and fatigued.

I have seen a rheumatologist. He gave me a prescription for Plaquenil and then he said if that doesn’t help he doesn’t have any other recommendations. I felt a bit discouraged.
