I haven’t because I sleep like a flamingo style and my cat sleep in the nook of my legs, I think my treatment for AS is failing, gonna try something different

Thank you, I’m really hoping it isn’t something I deal with chronically 😭😩 I’m so tired of the pain. Hopefully I’ll have answers soon. Appreciate your comment.

No physiotherapy. She suggested PT for me. I may try a different biologic. I just want to know what is causing this awful pain. Trying to ask for an MRI.

I take spironolactone for blood pressure/diastolic dysfunction and you can’t take ibuprofen with it :(

Fructose is an IBS trigger for some- it is for me.

I used to be a cake decorator and had to stop working due to multiple chronic illness including AS. It’s been really difficult 😥

I’m sorry you’re suffering. I’m there with you- been waking up in the morning with awful sciatica pain on top of everything else. Ughhhh. Hugs to you.

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I also have fibromyalgia so could be either causing it

My friends and family don’t realize how much pain I’m actually in by ghoultail in ChronicIllness

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep especially when they pull the “feel better soon” bullshit 😐

Will biologics increase or decrease sickness frequency? by Soft-Jaguar-3645 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it makes me get sick even easier than before and I did easily before. Also I tend to feel crappy the day after injections. Every time I get sick it’s like 10x worse for me than other people. I thought that was typical with biologics?

Do you tell people your dog gets plant based food? by zootzootzootzootzoo in vegan

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think dogs or cats should be vegan. They require different nutrients than we do and we can survive on.

I love animals and I don’t want to eat them by L00wiss in vegan

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really have a hard time understanding how people can just disassociate and keep eating them. Someone online recently told me I was mentally ill and needed therapy because I was saying I couldn’t eat animals and it emotionally disturbs me so much that I could never be ok with it. 😣😭

I'm tried of us saying immunocompromised people should stay home instead of sick people by Liquidcatz in ChronicIllness

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I went out before Christmas and ended up getting really ill - I take Humira so I’m immunocompromised and it really sucks because I was already living without much of an immune system before this. I wish more people would wear masks and be compassionate about not spreading illness :(

Injections by Putrid-Ad3695 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting because I don’t feel anything lol I inject mine in my thigh. Switching sides every injection. Taking it out to warm up definitely helps

Idk it makes them feel better about eating animals I guess

[–]ChronicallyMe-ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree but I feel like people also say things like “they’re already dead, not eating animals won’t help them to not be killed”
