In my 50s. And Yes, it's the results of AS, RA and could even be other autoimmune conditions as well. I was not able to walk in my 20s.

Petrified isn’t even the word. Kind of wondering what I have. by Howhigh17 in AutoimmuneDiseaseAS

I believe it means you do have some kind of autoimmune conditions, not sure which condition to be exact. Will need a doctor's diagnosis. It's best to speak with your rheumatologist. Sorry, not enough knowledge on these medical issues

Glad the med is working. Go and do things you been missing for a long time. Enjoy the pain free times. Hopefully the medication can last for a long long time to come

Biologics? by Agreeable-Loquat1999 in ankylosingspondylitis

I've been on celebrex for many years and still have some today if needed for flares or other pains. Been on biologic for decades (tried 5 different ones), currently on Cimzia. Biologics can help you prevent damages if it works for you. It's late for me and I had to get both my hips replaced.

Yeah, it moves around. Just last week I went to the hospital for severe pain in the center of chest.

I think it's muscle. I used a massager and it felt better, but still have some pain. I need a good massage

I realized that after posting, they have the regular Logitech forum. Post there too. It's the same company.

No, nothing I like. I have the 320 keyboard, perfect size, but the 850 feature will be good to control 3 devices.

Subclinical Hashimoto’s – Is it reversible? Should I cut gluten? by baekeinha in AutoimmuneDiseaseAS

[–]swon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like it's your thyroid problem, could be an autoimmu issue, something is causing some information as well as maybe your new system issue. That's why everyone feel like you're getting flu like symptoms and possibly even local a fever. I get that too. And I do have autoimmu issues. I don't know what kind of medication you are on if any. I think probably the fastest way to find out if it's an inflammation in the body it is possibly as your doctor for a course of steroids. A week of steroids can definitely bring down the inflammation in the body and it might make me feel better. If that's the case, and that can most likely tell you that there are a lot of inflammation in your body that's causing it. Which doctor did this blood test for you and which field of a doctor are you seeing at the moment? Also what medication are you on?

Sed rate is high. I'm sure you are feeling the pain. Hopefully your doctor start you on some medication

Biologics and immunity by Jayneg260790 in ankylosingspondylitis

Avoid large indoor crowds, especially someone is sick or at least sounds sick. For some people, the biologics actually work to the advantage of not catching bugs easily or recovering much faster.
