Also areas of discolored, very dry discolored slightly raised skin, and small look like blood blister all over my body that just appear and disappear. My hair is also very dry, and I lose hair daily in my hair brush. Also I have had ridged, peeling nails for years. I have asked about that for years, and it has never been addressed. I am so glad I found your site,as I am learning a lot about the questions I have asked about this disease, and never got the answers for.Thank you JoAnn Lance… read more

Top 3 nr-axSpA Questions (And Answers From a Specialist) (VIDEO) Read Article...
A MySpondylitisTeam Member

I recently heard on one of my many medical webinars that these symptoms are common as a result of many medication side affects, especially with DMARDS which for arthritis are essentially low dose chemotherapy. Pharmaceuticals to treat one symptom typically come with half a dozen or more new symptoms quite often as troublesome as the condition the medication is treating. Unfortunately, the common response to that in conventional medicine is more medication to treat the side affects. Even worse, despite the technology at their fingertips, doctos and pharmacists rarely crosscheck medication interactions, let alone any possible supplements the patients may be taking that might interact, or their dietary habits which can affect it too. This compounds the toxic load on the body resulting in more reactions. It's a vicious snowball affect. More and more patients are beginning to realize the fallacy of treating symptoms as opposed to getting rid of the cause(s) of chronic disease to begin with. I hope you figure it out and get to a more satisfactory condition soon. 😌🙏
