Do you send a flare with a SOS?

              I am finally feeling more like my old self. I have more energy and the pain in my legs has slowly disappeared .I think this cold weather may be why my legs are so painful. (Mind you I have had that same pain in the heat of the summer) I still have problems with my neck which makes for a poor nights sleep. I am still taking Vioxx for that. I never did fill out the Elavil for my leg pain, but it is on file if and when needed.
              What I would like to understand more and have never really tracked are my flares.. How do I recognize the start and finish of a flare? What is the best way to keep track and record flares?
              I sort of feel lost with trying to understand how my MS is and how it will effect me. I know it is different for us all and I hope to understand what triggers my flares. I learned a new word today...exacerbation .It means flares.
