As the seasons change, so can your lupus. In particular, the coming of winter cold can wreak havoc on your immune system – increasing the risk of infections or flares and adding to your muscle and joint pain. The challenges of winter weather and even the stress of the holidays can increase lupus symptoms. Here with a wealth of tips, tricks, and valuable advice to get us through the cold season, is our friend, Dr. Sharon Dowell, clinical rheumatologist and Medical Director of Rheumatology at NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital.
