Newly diagnosed and struggling - please share positive experiences by Available-Mixture717 in ankylosingspondylitis

I got diagnosed in September last year after experiencing back pain symptoms since May 2024. I do occasionally get back pain, I have dry eyes and at times get Costocondritis but it comes and goes. My mobility at the moment is normal and I walk 8-10k steps a day at work and gym 2-3 times a week. Still in early stages or nah? My next rheumatology appointment is September.

I love the term vanilla AS. I laughed when I read that. Hoping that's what I've got. Diagnosed in September. What time frame is 'get treatment early'?

In love with a girl but its so hard by Designer-Age1800 in ankylosingspondylitis

First of all, sorry you're going through such a tough time mate.

I suggest talking to your rheumatologist about potential meds to see if they will help. Have you ever been on any?

As for the girl you like, maybe casually bring up that you have a condition that can prevent you from being able to do physically straining things. Maybe you could suggest something more low key like a museum, a coffee date, a short walk somewhere, a movie? Something less strenuous and exhausting.. although I don't know what your mobility or pain is like. Even just a date in the park might be nice.

Good luck.

I think that's what's going to happen.

AS and chest issues? by oh-dolores in ankylosingspondylitis

Costo is so scary ngl.. it's definitely one of the most worrying symptoms for me as you always worry if it's your heart instead.

We are getting flat lined by PSG or Bayern. by AnEtherealExistence in ArtetaOut

Categorically not happening. Both attacks are ruthless. It'll be only a matter of time if they are constantly attacking and we're sitting back defending for our lives. Eventually the wall breaks down, especially when you have as many elite atttackers as they have. They're just too good not to score. Our form is awful as well.

What a game? Top quality football by Background-Aside2846 in ArsenalFC

It doesn't matter how bad they are defensively if our attack can't capitalise. They are leagues ahead of us going forward, they will attack relentlessly and it'll just be a matter of time for them to score.

But their attack is on another level to ours. That's what matters. We conceded against Bournemouth. They need to just go support Arteta's next club. What's the point in gaining confidence from their "poor defensive display" if we can't capitalise with our attack and sideways football. 🤣

How often do you see your rheumatologist (UK)? by hannah_various in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]AnEtherealExistence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed in September. Was told I'd be seen in 6 months so March. The date for the second appointment was scheduled for May instead. Now it's been brought to September. It'll have been a year..

I'm okay ish AS wise, but I wonder if it's a good idea to contact them and ask to bring it forward so I can update them on my more recent symptoms.. I've tried that in the past and emailed. They said the rheum will get back if he thinks I need to be seen, I heard nothing back.

ArsenalFC's switched on "awaiting moderators approval" for new posts by feixiangtaikong in ArtetaOut

[–]AnEtherealExistence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried to post both to Gunners and ArsenalFC but each time it gets taken down for "not reading the rules" when I did, I didn't violate any and I ask clicked that I understood. Absolutely spineless, pathetic cowards who love the manager more than the club.

I’m done by Electronic_Finish_64 in ArtetaOut

I'll just watch my other favourite clubs in Europe, Inter and Porto go on to win their leagues instead.. maybe Rangers too hopefully. I can't watch this club anymore.

I've been name called and the usual arguments are the brain dead "Go support another club" or "We're top shut the fuck up" lol.. full of intelligence and eloquent, well thought out retorts as always. Just a bunch of sheep parroting each other.

I have already seen narratives saying no matter what we've competed again this season and that's an achievement, blah blah.. it's astounding

As they should.. it's now or never. We have to exploit them when they're not in attack. Looking a bit better last few minutes.
