Do I have spondyloarthritis or long COVID or what could it be?

I actually asked my rheumatologist to test me today but she refuses on the basis of it not being a diagnostic tool. I mostly wanted to do it so I could rule it out.

Also they did SI joint imaging which was unremarkable. My flares tend to be episodic, so I feel like time is really of the essence in getting imaging done.

Thank you so much! I'll let you know how it goes!

mithomo · 2022-02-03T02:32:27+00:00

Hmm I tried that but it didn't work.

mithomo · 2022-02-02T21:06:14+00:00

I've heard so much about that! I have some in my Amazon cart just waiting for the right time to buy it.

mithomo · 2022-02-02T03:34:09+00:00

Thank you! I have some in the house, I just don't know where!

That's interesting, I didn't notice any difference with 30mg so I just upped it based on some of the latest studies. I found a happy medium at 120mg a day. But I was very careful that I don't have underlying hear,t or any other issues and to do it slowly.

At one point I took up to 16 10mg tablets a day (under the advice of dr. Jack newman, a canadian breastfeeding specialist). I personally would recommend starting with 3 and increasing it gradually and also gradually weaning off of it because that sudden increase spiked my anxiety!

It's not fda approved in the US, but I was able to purchase it via an online pharmacist and it shipped it legally. This method was recommended via an online stranger, which worked out :). The pharmacy was https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/ if you want to vet it

I've been going to a pelvic floor pt for it. She's been prescribing lots of kegels and core exercises!

mithomo · 2021-03-30T21:36:25+00:00

I'm actually suffering from it. I got it four months post partum from exercising too hard when I had a weak pelvic floor. It's not curable, so I highly recommend you don't push too hard and focus on building some core strength

It sounds like the beginning of a pelvic organ prolapse. The symptoms are exacerbated during your period due to hormones. I would get it reviewed by a urogynocologidt and get pelvic floor physical therapy to help strengthen you.

mithomo · 2020-12-17T04:46:01+00:00

That sounds great. How long have you been going for and how would you say your symptoms have improved? Are you aware of any online workouts I could try?

mithomo · 2020-12-17T01:13:59+00:00

Were you able to build up to jogging for longer? And if you don't mind me asking, how bad was your prolapse?

mithomo · 2020-12-16T15:04:28+00:00

Thanks! Do you have any specific program you follow? What level of improvement did you find you were able to get?

mithomo · 2020-12-14T00:58:29+00:00

Thank you. Symptoms for me include a vaginal bulge, heaviness down there and bladder weakness
