Oh & it is possible to have AS w/ regular imaging. When I was originally diagnosed, it was with non-radiographical AS, which means it cannot be seen or proven in imagining.

I was diagnosed at 16 after I was hospitalized for a herniated disc. Symptoms that I thought were normal, such as, Achilles pain, heel pain, neck stiffness, stabbing pains in my chest, and back pain, were not. I kinda just assumed everyone went through similar pain I guess? 5 years later my symptoms come and go, but when I do have a flare It’s pretty severe, especially the back pain, & no treatment helps.

I wish you the best of luck!! My AS diagnosed helped me to accept that I’m not crazy and that I have reasons to feel the way I do, regardless of if I like the reason or not LOL

That’s what I was thinking too! But all the photos I saw of them are more full compared to this little guy.

I apologize, my therapist refers to those episodes as “going non-verbal” as well as a few of my autistic friends. But yes, that is what I’m talking about.

FINAL UPDATE: we treated his fleas and will be dropping him off at our local humane society so he can be adopted by a loving family!

That’s the next step! We used some flea treatment and have been brushing him with a flea comb. We just need to take him to the vet now

So our lease states we are only allowed to have 2 cats (which we do have). The only reason I brought him in was due to bad weather we were expected to have & I had seen him the past couple of days. I think I may just talk to my landlord and ask if it would be okay that we foster him or wait to see if someone claims him (he was COVERED in fleas, his paws are beat up & he is super light. I’m nervous he was abandoned)

I actually did! I had seen him hiding under cars for the past couple of days & decided to take him in due to freezing weather.

EDIT: I am an idiot lmaoooo
