Has Starting Birth Control Helped With Symptoms?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just hit my 4 konths with Humera and am in the same place with my pain as when I started. I also have been very focused on maintaining my diet.
I have been reading and considering getting back on my birth control to regulate my estrogen levels. Has anyone else had success with that? Even just a mild improvement?
