How To Stay Healthy in Flu Season

Somehow it’s November already, which means that we are heading into flu season! While you can get it year-round, in the US you’re more likely to get it in December through March (x). As someone on 4 immunosuppressants, I get very anxious about the flu and other illnesses, as my body can’t fight it. But while immunosuppressed people are more likely to get the flu, anyone can get it. Whether or not you have a suppressed immune system, you should take precautions to avoid getting the flu. With that in mind, I’ve pulled together this guide on how to stay healthy in flu season. Good luck!

As a reminder, I’m not a medical professional! My advice is from personal experience and research. I always cite my sources when I share things I’ve found on the Internet, and I make sure to share information from reputable sources.

Boston lifestyle blogger Kate the (Almost) Great shares tips on how to stay healthy in flu season, including why you should get your flu shot.

How To Stay Healthy in Flu Season

Regularly wash your hands – You come in contact with so many germs during the day! It’s easy to remember to wash your hands after you use the bathroom or before you eat with your hands, but it’s harder to remember to do it in other situations. Over the course of my mornings, before I even get to my desk at work, I touch my MBTA card to the card reader (where thousands and thousands of people touch their cards), handles and seats on my bus, many door handles, my security card at work to multiple card readers, the coffee pot at my office, you get the idea. I don’t even want to know how many germs I come into contact with over the course of my 30-minute commute! Think about that can really gross you out, but it’s important to do so you can remember just how important it is to wash your hands. The CDC has a great 5-step guide of how to wash your hands, with the most important (to me) being that you need to lather them for 20 seconds.

Carry (and use) hand sanitizer – Without the opportunity to wash your hands, using hand sanitizer can also be helpful. The CDC recommends using a hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol, saying, “Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of microbes on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs” (x). Another good thing to know is that “when hands are heavily soiled or greasy, hand sanitizers may not work well,” so they can’t replace washing your hands with soap and water (x). Additionally, hand sanitizer might not remove harmful chemicals like pesticides, so if you have the option to wash your hands instead, that’s the better choice (x).

Disinfect your technology – Think of all of the places your phone and laptop have been, of all the surfaces they’ve sat on or fallen onto. Think of all the times you’ve touched these things after touching something covered in germs, like a handle on the subway. Think of all of the sick people your technology has been near. Think of all the times you’ve dropped your phone on the ground. According to a Deloitte survey, “Americans are viewing their smartphones more often than ever before, on average 52 times per day” (x). And researchers at the University of Arizona found that “Cellphones carry 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats” (x).

With that in mind, ask yourself, “When was the last time I disinfected my technology?” If you’re like most people, probably never. You should change that because, again, so. many. germs.

Get a mask if you’re at-risk – As I mentioned, my immune system is seriously suppressed. So suppressed that last year a stomach bug went around my dad’s office; he didn’t get it, but I did. Not only do I easily get sick, but when I do, I can’t fight it as much as someone not on these medications. I’m one of the people who could very easily die from the flu, so I take prevention very seriously. So seriously that I have masks that I wear when I have to go to the hospital! I carry one with me, too, so that I can put it on while commuting if someone near me is sick. Is that overkill? Not really; last year, I got a mystery illness that almost killed me.

But anyway. About the masks.

You can get a package of standard one at most drugstores. I personally have 2 Vogmasks because they’re reusable (and can be washed) and fun. They come in really fun colors and patterns!

5 items every immunosuppressed person needs

Get your flu shot – This is one of the best things you can do to prevent the flu! It’s a small thing to do, it’s easy, and it’s so worth it. Don’t believe me? Keep reading.

how to stay healthy in flu season, why you should get the flu shot, is the flu shot worth it, about the flu shot, protecting yourself from the flu

Why You Should Get the Flu Shot

It can’t actually give you the flu – This is such a common misconception! The CDC says, “flu vaccines cannot cause flu illness. Flu vaccines given with a needle (i.e., flu shots) are currently made in two ways: the vaccine is made either with a) flu viruses that have been ‘inactivated’ (killed) and that therefore are not infectious, or b) using only a single gene from a flu virus (as opposed to the full virus) in order to produce an immune response without causing infection” (x). The vaccine can take 2 weeks to kick in, so if you get the flu within 2 weeks of getting the vaccine, it doesn’t mean that you got the flu from the shot (x). Plus, common side effects of the flu shot are headache, fever, and muscle soreness, all of which are symptoms of the flu (x). So just because you get flu-like symptoms after getting the vaccine doesn’t mean that you actually have the flu.

The flu kills many people every year – You’ve probably heard of the Spanish influenza and how tons of people died from it. But people die from the flu every year. In modern time, “flu-related deaths have ranged from about 12,000 to 56,000, according to the CDC” (x). That’s even with all of the modern medicine techniques we have now! But while that’s the average, in the 2017-2018 flu season, 80,000 people died from the flu (x).

And even more end up hospitalized – In the 2018-2019 flu season, an estimated 36-41 million Americans got the flu. Okay, that’s a lot, but that doesn’t mean much, right? Wrong. In that flu season, “the disease has hospitalized 502,000 to 610,000 patients and killed 34,400 to 57,300” (x). And trust me when I say that, as someone who goes to the ER far more often than I would like, they don’t just hospitalize people for no reason or just because they have the flu. You have to be really sick to be hospitalized.

If you still get the flu, it won’t be as bad as if you didn’t get the vaccine – I know plenty of people who had said some version of, “I got the flu shot, but I still got the flu, so I’m not going to get it this year.” While I understand being frustrated with getting the flu even though you got the vaccine, the vaccine can actually prevent you from getting super ill even if you get the flu. The CDC says, “A 2017 study showed that flu vaccination reduced deaths, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, ICU length of stay, and overall duration of hospitalization among hospitalized flu patients” (x). Additionally, “A 2018 study showed that among adults hospitalized with flu, vaccinated patients were 59 percent less likely to be admitted to the ICU than those who had not been vaccinated. Among adults in the ICU with flu, vaccinated patients on average spent 4 fewer days in the hospital than those who were not vaccinated” (x). To me, this makes the flu shot look even more appealing than it already did.

Plenty of people rely on the herd immunity – Hello, it’s me, your friendly neighborhood autoimmune patient on 4 immunosuppressant medications. Stay away from me if you haven’t gotten your flu shot! Additionally, while I am able to get the flu shot, there are people who can’t. This includes other people with suppressed immune systems, but it also includes babies, older people, and pregnant people. By refusing to get a flu shot, you are not just affecting yourself, but other people around you.

The flu shot is super easy to get – What’s great right now is that you can get the flu shot at lots of places and not just your doctor’s office! You can get it at CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, or and urgent care location. If you have insurance, you might be able to get your flu shot for free, and if not, it’s usually discounted (x). And it’s really quick! I’m a patient at MGH, and I got my flu shot for free at their annual clinic. It took 15 minutes, which is the longest it has ever taken, and I’ve gotten mine there since 2015.

So there you have it: getting the flu shot is a great thing to do, and it’s generally easy to do. You don’t have any excuses!

How are you staying safe this flu season?

    Thank you for this! Super informative and love that you included the most obvious but often overlooked tip: to wash your hands. I can’t tell you how many people I see stroll out of the bathroom after barely running their hands under the water. Ugh.

    This is a great post.

    I’m actually recovering from the flu right now. I was very lucky to have an uncomplicated course of it. There was no hospitalization needed or anything like that, but it was still a pretty miserable experience that I don’t want anyone else to go through.

Last week, I talked about how it surprised me how Last week, I talked about how it surprised me how systemic autoimmune arthritis can be. But something else that surprised me was how much pain can be caused by small things.⁣
⁣
In this picture, I was getting ready to have an MRI on my knee. It has been bothering me a fair amount the last 6+ months, so I'm trying to do something about that. ⁣
⁣
Unsurprisingly, some of the tissue is damaged, but it's not bad. What's probably causing it to bother me so much is a teeny tiny cyst. ⁣
⁣
Baker's cysts are a type of cyst in the knee that are generally caused by arthritis. But having a cyst in my knee means that it's causing pressure on that damaged tissue. ⁣
⁣
The body is a weird thing, and one of these weird things is developing tiny cysts that cause a lot of pain. ⁣

If I met my newly diagnosed self for coffee ... ⁣
⁣
I tell her how things would get worse before they got better. ⁣
⁣
I'd tell her to stop eating gluten, dairy, corn, soy, and eggs immediately (although that would have been a lot harder in 2010, more than it even is now). ⁣
⁣
I'd tell her that she still needs to keep advocating for herself. ⁣
⁣
I'd tell her that having a diagnosis unfortunately doesn't mean everything automatically falls into place. ⁣
⁣
I'd tell her that she'll develop many more illnesses but her quality of life will actually get significantly better. ⁣
⁣
I'd tell her that she would eventually have to get her right foot fixed, although she does expect that.⁣
⁣
I'd tell her that using a cane is not a sign of failure, but a tool to make life better.⁣
⁣
(I did a sort of tongue-in-cheek post about this a while ago and thought I'd post a more serious one).⁣

The thing that surprised me the most about autoimm The thing that surprised me the most about autoimmune arthritis is how systemic it is. ⁣
⁣
Like with most things, it's one thing to know the fact and it's something else to experience it. ⁣
⁣
Yes, my joints are affected (a lot). ⁣
⁣
But I've had enough serious infections thats I have to see an immunologist because we need to be aware of my antibodies and I sometimes need help recovering from illnesses. ⁣
⁣
And, yes, I see pulmonology because of my asthma, but we also have to keep an eye out on developing rheumatoid nodules in my lungs. (So far so good!)⁣
⁣
Not to mention that, when I developed POTS, the hospital admitted me to run every heart test to make sure that, at 26, I wasn't experiencing heart failure. ⁣
⁣
Plus, when I developed endometriosis, I also went through a number of GI tests because one theory was that I had ulcerative colitis. ⁣
⁣
Anyway, RA is so much more than "just" joints. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have to kill my immune system every 3 months like I am in this picture.⁣
