COVID Affects While On Two AS Medications.

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Jefferson City, MO

Yesterday I worked a 12-hour shift at the hospital. My day was spent with extensive hours in one patient's room. She was there for other conditions. Due to a procedure scheduled, she was given a COVID test. It resulted in a positive. When I let her know, she cried, "What else can go wrong"? I just gave her time, knowing, this news was compounded by her other issues. I said a prayer for her, my coworkers, and myself silently. Today I called each appointment I have scheduled for this week. Each… read more

Hi Guys I'm In The UK I Was Diagnosed With AS In My 20's I'm 44, I Had A Blood Tests Which Show My Haemoglobin Levels Are Lower Than Normal?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Essex, UK

Have any of you experienced this issue? Also over the past couple of years I've experienced pain and weakness in my wrists which when pushing something shoots through the back of my hands, I just can't seem to shake it and Naproxen which works for all my other joints doesn't seem to touch it.

Hope you are all doing well and for those of you in the U.S. have a great Memorial Weekend. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

I tried dry needling for my neck and shoulder pain and it helped quite a bit. My PT did it and there was no pain at all during the procedure.

Years ago I bought the iodine, but unfortunately never followed through with it. With everything, I can get overwhelmed and not be as proactive except with a number of things....if that makes sense.

Anyone Hurt Their Back From Severe Coughing?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Beaumont, TX

I was sick with a cough. I would have severe cough attacks. My lower back is now hurting worse than it ever has. Hurts in tailbone area and sometimes in my thighs. I rarely have low back pain (my neck is my main area for pain).

How Do You Keep Mineral Intake Adequate In Diet For Bones And Health?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Mississippi State, MS

I’m a chronic dieter with IBS. I can’t take vitamin and mineral pills because it nullifies my thyroid medicine. I’ve tried researching foods high in magnesium and calcium but I can’t find anything high enough. I don’t want to eat a ton of food to get minerals. They say our water here has high mineral content but it is brown so afraid to drink it.

A MySpondylitisTeam Member

Me too! I’m having to include more dairy but it runs my blood sugar up and gives me seborrhea but it’s better then what the supplements do to me,
