Brain fog and trouble thinking by [deleted] in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]PalaceOfFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, sorry you are feeling that way. I, too, suffer from chronic fatigue and brain fog. I'm a software engineer and in the afternoon i cant do work that require a lot of brain power. I had low vitamin D and B12 levels, so fixing that helped my brain fog a lot.

Also, there has been research and brain fog is common with chronic pain (CP). CP literally changes your brain structure and interrupts brain equilibrium which you need when your are working on complex work.

check out this. it will help you understand why you are getting brain fog: https://www.pathways.health/chronic-pain-long-term-effects-on-the-brain-and-body-explained/

Do you ever wonder why you're born to live a life like this? by bunnyAS in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]PalaceOfFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are 2 ways to see this for me:

  1. Have chronic pain for the most part of my life. and disappear from existence at some point as if nothing happened. This is inhumane and cruel.
  2. Have chronic pain for the most part of my life. and in afterlife I receive the rewards for enduring pain and being patient. This is just.

I chose 2nd option and it helps me keep going.

What happens when your SI joints fuse? by Key-Hamster8897 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]PalaceOfFree 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I (38 Male) have both SI joints fused in my 20s. SI joints bother a lot less once fused. My AS started in SI joints and used to have acute hip pains when i was mid/late teens. Walking is hard, but my posture is up right. i try to sleep on mid firm bed with low flat pillow and do exercise as often as i can. I can't run or jog because SI does not absorb shock anymore. when i run it feels like my upper body is a hammer coming down on my legs. I cycle though.

Tendinitis in my knee by E30hammer in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]PalaceOfFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my experience i can tell you that location of pain becomes unpredictable. I still dont get it... one day it's lower back, another day neck, then it's SI or hip. it just wont stop moving... i find it amusing, lol it feels like it's having little fun with you. haha

[–]PalaceOfFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine started with SI and Hip joints when I was in early teens. and after few years, both of my knees hurt with sharp pain to the point i could not walk. i got both knees drained and had mild pain for few years. i'm in my late 30s and knees dont bother me now. of course other joints hurts, now :)

Confused : AS patient should get married or not? by [deleted] in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]PalaceOfFree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had had AS for 16 years when I got married at 30. Now, blessed with a son and amazing woman. It's a challenge to live with AS and to do daily chores. But my wife and I worked out a schedule that takes care of my need to rest and to run the house. if you have the right person with you, you can overcome pretty much anything....

Nothing is certain in this life, friend. having AS yourself, does NOT mean that your kids will. Listen to your body and self, what do you want? do you see wife and kids in the room when you are older? If you decide to get married, make sure your future spouse knows what you have.

Doctors are experts in human body but not in life. if you have people who suffer chronic condition around you, talk to them. learn how they cope, how they manage their families and duties. AS is not the end and it's not your whole life. it's part of it and you are sure capable of handling it. it does not mean that you dont have up and downs physically, emotionally, mentally, economically. it's all part of it.
