RA Flare Day Plan Printable, Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare Action Plan, Fridge Sheet & 14 Day Flare Log PDF

A rheumatoid arthritis flare plan you fill in on a good day and follow on a bad one.

When a flare hits, your hands hurt, your head is foggy and it's hard to remember what your rheumatologist said to do. This plan puts it all in one place before you need it: your early warning signs, the flare medicines your team agreed, who can help, what to do first, and exactly when to call.

Made by a mother-and-daughter team whose family has lived with autoimmune illness for more than 30 years. It's the flare plan we wish we'd had from the start.

FAQ
How do I get my files? Right after purchase, go to Your Account > Purchases on Etsy and click Download Files.
Do I fill it in myself? Yes. Fill in pages 2 and 3 on a good day, ideally with your rheumatology team, then copy the key details onto the fridge page.
How is this different from the RA Flare & Joint Tracker? The tracker is for every day. This plan is just for flares: what to do and when to call.
