I am a newly diagnosed patient with Spondylosis. My condition is very advanced, considering I'm just 33 years old. I have a plethora of non pain related symptoms all day everyday in Conjunction with my pain and limited mobility. Is this considered an autoimmune disease too?
I know AS is auto-immune as i have had it since I was 20. Spondylosis is not auto-immune.
I started taking vitamin B-1 (thiamine )
100 mg twice a day

Recently my Facebook feed has been FULL of friends talking about their different health and wellness accountability groups and how this shake or that protein powder changed their lives and makes them feel so much better.

I add juice to Ensure to soften the chalkie taste. Favorites are pineapple & mango. Apple & grape are too mild.

My doc tried to get me in a drug trial but the mri didn’t show inflammation and hla b27 was negative so I don’t qualify. Now I’m stressed that this info will make him rethink my diagnosis. I was happy(sort of) to finally having an answer to why I’m in so much pain all the time and get on track to feeling better(sort of). His diagnosis was based on deteriorating of the si joints caught on an X-ray.
I am negative also. My doc said it doesn’t matter that much. I have AS in my neck and si joints/ lower back. All my blood work was also normal. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia and now I was… read more
