Due to my chronic AS my primary doctor wrote a letter 3 months ago emphasizing my need to be able to take my two 15 minute and one 30 minute breaks during my 12 hour shift. 2 hours later, once home, I was called and asked by my director if I'd be open to trying a different position and after training we'd review and see how that is working. Once trained, I was solo and the day we were supposed to meet she did not come to work nor contact me since. The 12 - 13 hour shift is all sedentary and… read more
They have the first time and on appeal they are again with gusto. Thanks.
Not sure if that’s the right term but I know people have said they get chest pain but I’ve been getting spasms. It’s similar to a foot cramp but in my chest (no heart problems)
I’m without health insurance at the moment so going to the doc is not an option
Thank You
I get spasms in my torso in major muscles if I don't take my Flexeril
Last night I just felt like my body was lacking something, like I needed some fruit.Went to store and loaded up on fruit.Had some and instantly I felt better🤔
I know when i start craving sour things my body needs folic acid. So yes our body tells us what we need if we could just learn what it all means
Its been 4 days since all those xrays, do they call you with tge results or do they make you wait til your next appointment?
I had to call to get the results put in my portal. SMH. They know we are worried about the results they should call us. So call them.
I have been having a lot of problems with extreme dizziness. It started after an MRI on my head which I had due to daily migraines. I believe that the dizziness stems from my neck issues. I was prescribed meclizine but hasn't made a difference. Any thoughts or suggestions?
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, cute gif. You are welcome, we all need those hugs. 🕊️
What specific recipes with lots of flavor with spices or whatever to keep eating interesting when trying to eat low carb and low fat for AS and diabetes where you aren’t standing over a stove or doing lots of prep work. I have trouble finding things because even diabetic recipes online have excess carbs in them and all the others are keto with insane amounts of fat and cheese and I don’t eat lots of fat. I can’t have dairy.
Yes I do understand the troubles you have. It can feel very frustrating to eat the same foods. I am hoping I can introduce more foods so I will have more variety too. Wish I had more answers for you.v
I have spondelosisthesis a grade 1,the other complication I have is related to my left hip. One consultant went from diagnosing spondelosisthesis to saying I need a new hip, which will make your back worst but I can't treat that? I just knew in my gutt this was incorrect. I had a second opinion, from another consultant. My symptoms are apart from the lower back pain, are that I can hardly walk due to the pain and restriction in my left hip. It feels like I can't stride out on the left side, the… read more
