Anybody get "seasonal" flares?

Hi,

I've had Crohn 's for eleven years, and it seems when I have bad flares, they seem to be in the summer. My worst symptoms, were in the summer just before initial diagnosis, I've had nasty EIMs such as pyoderma, and bad knees, which both manifested during the summer. My first surgery was last year, in the hottest week of the year, and I seem to be embarking on another major flare right now, and guess what? It seems to be summer!:ybatty:

Just wondering, does anybody else find that if they are going to be bad,it comes at a particular time of year?

Mine seems to act up a bit during Christmas. But, I work retail and it gets pretty stressful around that time which is probably the reason.

I'm worse in December too. I work in a restaurant so I think it's stress also.

I'm summer too.... usually from May to August (touch wood nothing has shown up this year which is a first so far)
