I'm newly diagnosed and I fractured my spine so it's tough for me to answer because I'm very limited right now as far as activities even small chores like doing dishes or making my bed causes me to have to stop because the pain comes on I do go to physical therapy and I'm hoping that it will help me I find it frustrating and it makes me sad because I was so active but I can say that absolutely I feel fatigued all the time now ugh also living in New England during the winter months I can't escape even to sit outside at my table lol Hang in there 😊

With spondylitis I go through server exhaustion during a flare up. I tend to push myself to exercise but it doesn't help my exhaustion although it helps with my aches and pains. I must be caureful not to over do it or it takes a few days to be able to e exercise again. Exhaustion comes woth flareups.
