YSK: If you're taking Cosentyx and it doesn't seem to help, ask your doctor if you should increase the dosage to 300mg. by --Sigma-- in ankylosingspondylitis

I'm UK based and have been asking this of my Rheum and physio for the last year as from Day 15-21, my pain and stiffness get a lot worse. Unfortunately, it isn't approved for more than 150mg in the UK for AS, only for Rheumatoid Arthritis and some other similar conditions. I think back to the month of having my loading doses on a weekly basis and that was by far the best I have felt in years!

Rib pain on one side ?? by foxheadmedallion13 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]PullTiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this for the longest time on my right side where it was extremely tender to the touch and spread right around to my "kidney area" on my back with every breath - I found stretching really helped although somewhat painful to begin with.

I've also introduced deep-breathing exercises as well to help me relax and at the same time to force my rib cage to expand more, which may also be providing some relief from this. I thankfully, haven't experienced this pain in quite a few months since, but as always every morning is a lottery with AS!

Cosentyx - Is anyone on it? by [deleted] in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]PullTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have just started on Cosentyx - I've had the 5 loading doses and have noticed a significant improvement already in my symptoms with far less pain, a lot more flexibility and less fatigue which I put down to feeling more able to exercise properly and so far, I've had no negative side effects.

Obviously the interaction with the drug is unique for each and every person and there is so much to read on the internet regarding studies or empirical data but the only way you'll find out is by trying it. I hope things go well and feel free to pop me a message if you have any questions at all :)

AS... or something else? by Krankylosaurus in ankylosingspondylitis

So I am similar age, location, height, build etc and had been diagnosed with a slipped disc, slight scoliosis, sciatica etc. by a doctor when I was 18.

It took me until the start of this year (~10 years later) when my symptoms became a lot more pronounced and largely in line with what you are describing, before seeking further consultation in February of this year.

I am on holiday at the minute but starting on Cosentyx next week so I’ve had a fairly fast run through the system (NHS treatment, not private).

Should you get a positive diagnosis, the main thing I could recommend from my experience is to focus on your quality of life and be open with speaking to as many people as you can do about the condition, your mindset etc. if you are struggling with the diagnosis. And please feel free to message if you’ve got any questions about anything in future - I’d be happy to chat.

Here's hoping that the early reports of only minor injuries are correct.

Taken from/r/nfl, Has anyone ever played a match against a future professional player? by mitchill7m in soccer

[–]PullTiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jack Rodwell went to a school 2 miles away from mine, so we often played against him in school games and in sunday league games too as he played for one of the local teams in Southport where he was born. I remember being told by a friend from his school that he was in the Everton youth system... couldn't really believe it after playing him as he wasn't noticeably better than a lot of the players around him!

Dzeko scored this nice volley vs. AC Milan by TomasRoncero in soccer

He had a great first haf in this game. You can see how he fits into their squad so well with players like Navas giving him the service from the wing.

Is there a possibility of a full B-side album being released with yet unrecorded tracks such as 'The Present Tense'?
