I think I'm in a flare. I also wonder if I was off by a centimetre or two when I did my jab on Wednesday.
I'm in enough pain that I can't sleep past 5am and I can't get comfortable overnight.
I'm feeling more than a little miserable.
#AnkylosingSpondylitis sucks!

I will, till the day I die, never support suppository injection. My dad had to do it to me and I reckon his soul left his body that day.
And I laugh. We have to.
I’m 40 years older now. #arthritis #ankylosingspondylitis

The inflammation in my body pre-cycle makes my autoimmune inflammation so much worse and I hurt in so many places that I straight up can’t sleep. Heating pad on, pain reliever taken and now I’m just waiting to see if it helps. #AnkylosingSpondylitis #AS

Ankylosing Spondylitis/ Axial Spondyloarthritis is a disease that I’ve had since I was 17, diagnosed at 19. It has defined my life, first hip replacement at 30, left with spinal curvature & scoliosis, fused neck, two hips replaced. But I refuse to give in to it. We carry on 💪🏻 #Ankylosingspondylitis
EDS doc booked.
I need to start physical therapy, or I won’t be able to walk or stand anymore.
Trying to avoid getting a rollator for a few more years.
Going back on LDN (low dose naltrexone) too.

My "complex patient" resume includes:
#hEDS (obvious by age 6, not dx'ed for decades)
#RheumatoidArthritis
#AnkylosingSpondylitis
#Osteoarthritis (see: untreated hEDS)
Traumatic spine injury - fusion at L5/S1
Shoulder replacement
...And docs like this will still refuse to treat me for pain.
Injection day again, those 2 weeks come round so fast. 💉 😳

❓How are #AnkylosingSpondylitis aka #AxialSpondyloarthritis and fibromyalgia rated on the McGill Pain Index? ❗They are consistently rated among 10 of the most painful diseases in the world. "The chronic pain associated with these diseases comes very close to the pain experienced with childbirth. The main thing to remember is that childbirth doesn’t last forever, but you can look forward to a lifetime of unending pain with AS, fibromyalgia and ME." ~ 70 Things About My Invisible Illness You Might Not Know, 2015, Carrie Kellenberger, My Several Worlds (LINK IN COMMENTS) [Image description] An image of vertical line with numbers starting at 0 through 50. 😐 10 and 20 on the McGill Index are: sprain, fracture, and toothache and arthritis having the same pain score. 😧 22-28 include pain such as after shingles pain (22), non terminal cancer (26), chronic back pain (28) and chronic migraine (29) 😭 30 to 38 on the McGill Index are: fibromyalgia (30), Ankylosing Spondylitis (32), childbirth with training (32), childbirth no training (36), and amputation of toe or finger (39). 🤯 CRPS at 46 is the most painful disease in the world. #MySeveralWorlds #SolvePainTogether #LetsTalkAboutPain #ArthritisAwareness #CRPS #APS #ChronicPainAwareness #pwME #PainAwareness

#Chronicillness Almost forgot to take my #Humira today (I take it weekly for #ankylosingspondylitis ). It’s ironic, since the worst day of my week was when I got a letter from my ins. co. saying they won’t cover it after 1/1! This is a problem since 1 box (2 doses) is more than my monthly income.
