I am STRAPPED big time currently $$ wise. We are also rolling into winter so very limited on fresh fruits & veggies... I LOVE Salmon but it is just EXPENSIVE. I really struggle with GI flares... I tend to ignore the pain and keep going so my body uses GI FLARES to MAKE me stop... I just can't always stop as I still try to transition after a diagnosis so recent but after decades of having AS symptoms. I know I need to focus on diet and less "processed" food but I'm a Single Mom, Home owner… read more

Just keep reading conflicting information…I know at the end of the day is specific to the individual, but what works for most?

I'm new on here and I haven't seen anything about balance problems. Is this just me or does anyone else have these problems. I just can't always walk a straight line. When I walk down the hallway in my house I sometimes almost bounce from wall to the opposite wall.

I have Active nr-axSpA and I started to have pain in my both ankle ( swelling, redness)
I take sulphasalazine 2000 mg daily !

I started having some numbness and tingling in my right shoulder, down the arm and into the hand. This is 2nd time in a week it has happened. I can still move it, still feel like normal, no pain, no other symptoms (other than panic/anxiety thinking it might be a stroke) I mentioned it to my rheumatologist when i saw her last week and she said its probably a nerve as the other time happened when i was driving for a couple of hours..
Has something like this happened to anyone else?
If the ulnar nerve in the elbow is pinched by too much bending, the last two fingers go numb. This happens to me when I sleep. The numbness goes away pretty fast when I straighten my elbow after… read more
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, I'm with you on the bloating, it's terrible. It doesn't help that I have to do injections into my stomach which makes it worse.
debilitating pain especially in the morning.
I didn’t realize how much the gabapenten helped until I stopped using it for a few days. I have taken it for over 20 years
If you have the money then the more expensive treatments you may have a better chance at reducing its effects upon you.
I use a salon patches on a daily basis in my lower back area. Those seem to work the best
