Sun Intolerance With AS
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Has anyone else experienced sensitivity to heat or the sun? If I get the least bit warm, or the minute I step outside in the sun I feel like Iā€™m being stabbed all over with pins and needles. It is really frustrating, I cannot even be outside to watch my son play or go to the park because of this. Hoping when I start the biologic it helps. The medrol dose pack helped for a little while then it came back.

You might ask your pharmacist if any of your medications cause photosensitivity . If taking over the counter medications: Niacin , B vitamins, others also cause that side effects. Pharmacist will be a big help in finding answer. Some changes to route can lessen the side effects. Wish you luck and recommend a good sunscreen
