Arthritic flares?

Do any of you get oddly arthritic flares in various places (sometimes in multiple places at once?

If so:

1) did your doctor feel it was connected to your fibro, and/or did they try to rule out a secondary condition?
2) how did your doctor approach testing and treatment related to this (outside of possibly prescribing steroids)?
3) do you feel it’s weather that mostly prompts this issue?
4) any helpful tips in discussing this issue with a doctor?
