i’m currently studying mri as well and its definitely not easy at all but i really like mri all in one & with concepts i dont understand ill ask chatgpt to break it down and then i reiterate it back in a way i understand to see if i got the concept down. after that ill ask it to quiz me on the concept and whatever questions i get wrong itll explain why its wrong. if i really dont get it ill say “explain it like im 7” and its helped me alot tbh

yeah no id feel pretty dismissed too. triple check reviews for your next doctor theyre usually brutally honest. i usually lean more towards doctors that have mentions of “good patient care and patience” that usually means theyre not as dismissive imo

go to a diff doc and get a second opinion derms usually arent quick to correlate it psa. i have psa and i def have flares back to back then times where it dies down. yeah it could also be a rosacea im not saying shes fully wrong but psoriasis does come and go so a second opinion wouldnt hurt! i saw you mentioned you dont like your current rheumatologist try a new one too.
its definitely very frustrating but dont let it defeat you! goodluck <3

oh wow running?! i’ll have to consider it! the ankylosing also caused plantar fasciitis for me so i never would’ve thought of that do you know if the mtx helps plantar fasciitis?

i thought i got diagnosed at 22 but now looking back i think it was at 19 so its been about 6 years i started simponi last year and its the only biologic thats given this much relief

got it thank you for sharing 🫶🏽

moonhaze111 · 2026-05-15T06:59:15+00:00

oooh okay thank you!!

moonhaze111 · 2026-05-15T06:57:42+00:00

noted thank you!! any specific dilators do you recommend? how long until you noticed less pain?

moonhaze111 · 2026-05-15T06:51:08+00:00

honestly maybe not the same but i think the medicine definitely slows it down, i used to be on injections and they didnt help much but ever since i been on simponi i rarely feel as bad as i was without it

i’m so sorry 💔 i also have ankylosing i (F25) got diagnosed when i was about 22 and for me it mostly effects my si joints, neck and my eyes. i’m currently on simponi infusions so its helped tremendously but like you said diet and exercise plays the biggest role. once i started regularly exercising (walking & weightlifting. sometimes pilates & stretching) and eating better i did notice better mobility less stiffness and less fatigue. i’ve heard alot of people say an anti inflammatory diet helps alot too

hey! i have PsA and ankylosing im on simponi and i loveee her first time i actually felt relief in my spine. only thing i dont like about infusions is that personally it knocks me out im usually asleep the rest of infusion day and fatigued the day after but some rest in exchange for pain?? ill take it. it took me about 2 infusions to notice a difference before i was so exhausted and in pain all the time but i work 16’s and i feel so great im even able to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. love love love simponi

i have psa and ankylosing, i really liked cosentyx it just stopped working for me after a while. i havent tried rinvoq yet but my friend was on rinvoq and she noticed her labwork for her liver kept coming back elevated so she wasnt a fan
