Men's Health Week starts today, and here's a fact worth sharing: men with autoimmune conditions are often diagnosed years later than women — not because the disease is less aggressive, but because the conversation hasn't happened yet.

At Fort Bend Rheumatology Associates, we see patients across the full spectrum of inflammatory and autoimmune disease. Early diagnosis changes outcomes.

This week, encourage the men in your life to listen to their bodies — and act on what they hear.

As always call us to schedule your next appointment.

Congratulations to our April Employee of the Month — Liah Martinez, our Infusion Lead Nurse! 🌟

"She consistently goes above and beyond, leading with dedication, compassion, and professionalism." — Her peers

Thank you for the care and leadership you bring every day, Liah! 💛

Today, we remember.

Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the quiet foundation beneath every freedom we hold every family gathering, every ordinary morning, every moment we get to spend with the people we love.

To the families who carry their memory: we see you, and we are forever grateful.

To those who served and made it home: thank you for shouldering what so many never had to.

May we never forget. 🇺🇸

— The Fort Bend Rheumatology Associates Team

Both FBRA clinics are closed today in observance of Memorial Day. We'll reopen with regular hours tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26.

🇺🇸 A reminder before the long weekend 🇺🇸

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, a few quick health notes from our team — especially for our patients managing autoimmune and inflammatory conditions:

✔️ Refill check: Look at your prescriptions today. If you need a refill, request it through the patient portal or call us before the end of the day. Refill requests received Monday will be processed Tuesday.
✔️ Infusion patients: Confirm your upcoming appointment time so there are no surprises after the holiday.
✔️ Travel smart: Pack medications in your carry-on if flying. Keep them in original labeled containers.
✔️ Watch for flare triggers: Heat, dehydration, disrupted sleep, and overexertion are common culprits over long weekends.

Both FBRA clinics will be closed Monday, May 25, for Memorial Day. We'll reopen with regular hours on Tuesday, May 26. For urgent clinical needs, please call our main line and follow the after-hours instructions.

Have a safe and restful weekend.

💐 Happy Mother's Day 💐

To every mother, grandmother, stepmother, and mother figure — today, we celebrate you.

We see the moms who keep moving through morning stiffness to make breakfast. The moms who manage flare-ups, infusion schedules, and medication routines while still showing up for their families. The moms whose joints ache but whose love never wavers.

You are the heart of every home — and the strength behind every recovery.

From all of us at Fort Bend Rheumatology Associates, Happy Mother's Day. You are seen, supported, and so deeply appreciated. 🌸
