Flare ups

Hi, I'm new here.
I'm 41 and just recently diagnosed. Having trouble adjusting to meds and currently going through a pretty testing flare up. It's hard to tell,when I'm in such pain, wether I should get medical help or not. Im only just learning how to manage so it's an anxious time. Feels like it progresses faster than I can keep up. Hoping joining a forum of people who can relate might help make the journey easier.
