Yes, flu-like symptoms are common with HS flares! These symptoms can occur right before or during a flare-up. Many people with HS experience:

• Fatigue
• Muscle aches
• Joint pain
• Headaches
• Nausea
• Fever These symptoms can be early warning signs that a flare is starting. Some people notice these symptoms just before developing inflamed nodules or abscesses. It's important to communicate these symptoms to your healthcare team, as they can help develop strategies to manage both the flu-like symptoms and the flares.

When you notice these symptoms starting, try to:
• Reduce stress
• Wear comfortable clothing
• Take extra care of your skin
• Keep your schedule flexible if possible
