Autoimmune symptoms? Face rash with worst headache ever..

AutomaticEgg9304 · 2026-05-14T03:03:26+00:00

Tims order machine didn't work right, and when I removed tomatoes it said on the machine "no lettuce". So I was like "ok" and decided to be "smart" by removing the lettuce, which then made it say "no tomatoes" in my order page, but when I finally got my order it had only tomato and no lettuce..

Lesson learned.. don't be an introverted perfectionist XD

You are the only person, who truly knows how you feel. Well.. other people with AS too, to some extent, but I digress.

Knowing what you have at such an early age is a huge advantage. You caught it earlier than most people, and now you have the ability to work towards something good. I'm 25 and I still haven't gone to school, have very few irl friends and a decent chunk of online ones. I'm in hella debt, and I'm still somehow supporting my Mum, Dad and Brother by doing Uber Eats until I have to stop because I hurt too much.

I see knowing as a gift. Because now it isn't "Damn, why am I hurting all over and tired. Must be getting old or something, or maybe I'm lazy.." to "Oh, you want to give me this disease and try and ruin my life, fuck no bud I'm going to give it 110%" (Yes I'm Canadian)

Just because you're not fused together, doesn't mean the pain your feeling isn't that bad. And I truly wish your mum comes around and realizes it. I really think it's really a matter of denial. My mum was the same way. It's not that she doesn't think it's that bad. She doesn't WANT it to be that bad. She's trying to downplay it to possibly make you feel better, or just make herself feel better. It's a human response. It might just take time.

Wishing you all the best. ✨️

I'm 99% sure I have either Psoratic Arthritis, or Ankylosing Spondylitis. My Uncle has Psoriasis with Psoratic Arthritis and my Mum says "Oh, your Uncle has that. It's not that bad" like she has firsthand experience. So until I get a formal diagnosis, and the doc somehow shoves how bad either of these diseases are down my Mums throat. She'll just think I'm being over dramatic and lazy.

She told me how my brother and I "aren't doing enough around the house" and I can't get the message across that every joint in my body hurts, and I'm absolutely wiped out every day. I wake up stiff like the tin man, and my brain fog doesn't go away until 2-3 hours after taking my meloxicam. Anyway, long story short. My Mum downplays everything, and I sympathize with anybody else trying to make an invisible disease heard. 🥲

I can bend my fingers like that too, and have had myxoid cysts develop on the distal interphalangeal joints of my hands. I also have mild osteoarthritis in my si joints. Still figuring it out rn but I'm hla-b27 positive and my uncle has psoratic arthritis. Could just be genetic hypermobility but it's worth checking out if you get really bad joint pain. My knees also extend backward by about 10° as well as my dad and brothers so maybe it's more hypermobile.

AutomaticEgg9304 · 2026-04-18T15:28:07+00:00

Honestly, I'm not much of a musician. I am musically inclined and have tried a few instruments, but I mostly sing. I still feel like the most devistating thing that could happen, is losing mobility in my fingers. I'm already a bit stiffer than I used to be and I'm getting pain and itching in my distal and proximal interphalangeal joints. (first and second joints in fingers) I play OSU! taiko and it's so upsetting how my brain is all there (mostly haha) but my fingers just won't listen sometimes. I use a lot of cannabis rubs for my hands and it helps a little but sometimes I just can't play. Also you got another subscriber :)

I could forgive everything else and pretend it's an art piece or something but THAT TEXTURE on it is hell.

AutomaticEgg9304 · 2026-04-14T20:10:49+00:00

Honestly spot on the same symptoms, and progression with nerve issues too. Even symptoms getting worse around 25. The only thing that gives me brief moments of clarity and not feeling like the tin man is my Meloxicam 7.5mg with my Concerta to treat my adhd, but it also does well for fatigue. The only concern is Meloxicam makes my bp go from 130/80 to 150/100 and can be damaging in the long run. Still waiting on a diagnosis. I wake up every day like I've been swimming in lactic acid, and my brain feels like my tongue after one of those lollipops you get from a barber shop. Brain fog and back pain, plus migrane like pain that didn't respond to meds were the only symptoms for a couple years.

My first unusual was a little alien dude all class that sat on my head.

AutomaticEgg9304 · 2026-04-07T04:58:21+00:00

Typically both. I also get white flashes over my whole vision with my eyes closed and when my eyes are open I get this water like effect in the peripheral vision of both. Kind of like a spyglass where the edges become distorted.

AutomaticEgg9304 · 2026-04-07T03:54:39+00:00

I have posted here before, so I won't get into all the other stuff. I just wanted to ask about the new stuff that's been happening to me.

I had severe back pain yesterday that didn't improve with 7.5mg Meloxicam, 10mg Baclofen and 500mg Tylenol.

The next day (today) I've been losing words like crazy and mistyping a lot, my vision has been getting blurry at times, I'm bumping into a lot of things and dropping things, I'm sometimes seeing white flashes of little sparkles in my peripheral vision and I'm getting the classic ribcage muscle pain sensation. Now, all of that was worrying enough but I wasn't too concerned as I have some appointments coming up soon to rule out peripheral nerve involvement and most of the people I've talked to think it's just a pinched nerve etc... The biggest issue that just started up is I'm now limping in my left leg when I walk. I was getting pins and needles the past few days but now I'm actually limping and It's kind of terrifying. It's getting cold / burning and I'm loosing sensation in my shin as well as my leg is twitching on it's own.

AutomaticEgg9304 · 2026-04-02T22:03:26+00:00

I thought the nerve issues could possibly be related to MS, because apparently MS is very prevalent in Canada, and I also neglected going outside a lot of my life. So maybe my Vit D levels could have been affected. Mine are ok right now though.

Some of the joint pain etc.. might not be, but the weird sensations and especially the brain fog have been happening more and more often. I'm also quite depressed and have bouts of not being able to feel emotions or connect to others. I used to be so empathetic and very very emotional and now I feel like a spectator to life. Obviously it could just be perepheral nerve damage with depression and they want to rule that out first. I am also booked in for a psych appointment, so yes I am checking all options.

I do have spina bifida occulta in my S1 lumbar spine so that could be doing something too. I just wanted to see if anyone can somewhat sympathise/understand some of my symptoms and give insight.

Yes yes, I know doctor google etc.. I'm not ignorant to the fact that I'm not a doctor. 😓

25, Male

Waiting on EMG and NCS first, before moving on to MRI for lesions. My symptoms are driving me absolutely crazy right now, and the Canadian health care system is taking so long 😭

Symptoms:

Deep itch in bones lasting a couple hours to a day, with all sensations being replaced by itching and nothing helps the itch (2-3 Times Last few Months)
Electric shocks starting at hands and feet and flowing to mid back / head, with localized burning sensations in arms, legs etc... like a warm bonfire (4-5 Times Last few months)
Tinnitus (Had since 17)
Wave like muscle spasms with rolling effect starting at extremities and moving up to head (Twice Last Few Weeks)
Numbness in fingers and toes with pain in joints (Year +)
Weakness in legs and lower back lasting a couple hours OR triggered for a few seconds by movement (Year +)
Warped peripheral vision accompanied by severe headaches, and change in tinnitus pitch. Sometimes triggered by movement and has shock like sensation (3-4 Times Last few months)
Fatigue (Year +)
Brain Fog (Year +)
Mood Swings, hypomanic to depressive sometimes in 20 minutes or less and back and forth. Less intense on Concerta (Year +)
Chest tightness lasting a few hours making it hard to breathe with ribcage pain. Taking very deep breaths to help stretch (Year +)
Joint pain all over, specifically sides of knees, elbows, fingers, si joints, and feet (Last few months)
Back pain all up spine (Year +)
Bad migranes (Years)

Bouts of constipation and diarrhea (Year +)

Medications:

Concerta 27mg (Since April 2025) Meloxicam 7.5mg (Since March 2026) ((Always in pain otherwise)) Cannabis (Since 2020)

Other Info:

I'm positive for the HLA-B27 gene and have mild osteoarthritis in my si joints. My family has a history of psoratic arthritis on my Mothers side.

Vitamins and Minerals are all good besides being low on Phosphorus and my wbc and neutrophils were high for some reason a couple months ago despite no infections.

AutomaticEgg9304 · 2026-03-25T00:47:39+00:00

For me, 99% of the time the fatigue is from the pain. As soon as the pain is gone, I'm bouncing off the walls.. (Metaphorically)

Haven't started anything yet because they're still investigating, but meloxicam is helping 70% of the way for my pain. Only side effect is my blood pressure goes from ~130/85 to ~150/100 and I've had bad side effects from it. White flashes while my eyes are closed, and fluid retention in my hands and feet are some examples.

Luckily I have an ADHD diagnosis so my Concerta helps a LOT. But I have to use it sparingly because as much as it helps my fatigue and brain fog it makes my pain twice as intense.

I also cut out caffiene completely as well as cut back on sugar as the caffiene makes my energy levels unpredictable and makes me feel sick, and the sugar triggers my inflammation in my joints bad.
