Kim, it used to really effect me when I had to cancel or say no to an invite. Some people quit asking, but my best friends have not given up on me. When I can go I go, if not they understand. It took awhile for family to understand, but they all understand now. Once you understand yourself that if you can go and want to go you will. When you don't you have to not beat yourself up about it. The stress of it can through you into a flare. I have learned sometimes I push myself harder sometimes so I can be more active. But other times my body just flat says no go!
