Flu season hits differently when you’re living with autoimmune disease or taking rheumatology medications. In this video, I break down what to do if you think you have the flu, which symptoms should prompt urgent care, and how to think about common rheumatology meds when you’re sick.

We cover:
Flu vs. “just a cold”: key symptoms to watch
When to call your rheumatology team
Fever, dehydration, and red flags that need urgent evaluation
How to approach steroids, DMARDs, biologics, and JAK inhibitors when you’re ill (general guidance)
Flu prevention: vaccines, household exposure, and practical next steps

This video is for education only and isn’t personal medical advice. If you’re immunocompromised, pregnant, or your symptoms are severe, please seek urgent medical care.
