    Thank you for sharing, my flare up are slowly starting to get worse, but not to the extent that you're enduring. Your video was a good refresher to understand what is going on in my body.

    I have it mild, I'm trying to manage with calisthenics and gymnastics, when I get a flare-up, walking and doing any mobile activity becomes extra sore in my body. My hip and spine are fused, my spine has issues since my 20s and my spine mobility is quite limited I believe. I'm 40 now, I'm sorry to hear about your issue, do you have anyone who can help?

    Thank you so much for sharing. I’m 58 and was “officially” diagnosed back in 2017 after going through spinal surgeries and “procedures” since 1999. I went from being a strong and active firefighter to being a shell of my former self. (The fire-rescue stuff was only volunteer in my community. “Real” work for me was as an electrical engineer) The aggravating part is the years that I could have been doing more aggressive physical therapy and other things, but was most often told to “rest”. I wasted decades with the pain management “doctors” at St. Barnabas’s ACC center in NJ. I went to HSS (hospital for special surgery) in Manhattan at my Dad’s request. They had me diagnosed within 15 MINUTES! The radiograph of my SI joint (hip) showed it all. I’m HLA-B27 negative and have been on Humira / Remicade / Cosentyx / Simponi / Taltz and a few others with methotrexate as well. I did not receive any perceived benefits but DID develop all sorts of out of control infections, likely caused by the attenuation of my immune system. I’m in extreme pain for nearly 24 hours a day and cannot walk without a cane or walker because the kyphosis is so bad at this point. I’ve been fortunate to have a pain doc that will prescribe pain meds but the hoops required to jump through are brutal. And … now, in America in 2024, my pharmacy and 86 other pharmacies in a 20 miles radius radius… cannot locate morphine or other narcotic pain meds. I get the whole “opiate crisis”, but this is ridiculous. Especially when fentanyl is pouring into our country via an intentional process of destruction of our once fantastic country. Good luck to you!

      I am sorry you are in pain. Are you still in the USA? Is your Dr a rheumatologist that specializes in AS? There are tests have hat can help diagnose AS. X-Ray of sacroiliac joints. Bloodwork for inflammation and for HLA-B27. These can be used to help with diagnosis. You need a Dr trained in AS. Many can be found at the Spondylitis Association of America. Don’t give up!

    Hello. 👋 I also have AS. Took me 15-20 yrs. to get a diagnosis. I appreciate your video because I am really struggling myself also. Just went through a bad flare from being sick with a cold. It turned into pneumonia with so much inflammation in my ears, sinuses, pleurisy and uveitis. Needless to say it took me many weeks to recover. I live in constant pain now, as many AS’ers do. Just know that you aren’t alone. ❤

    hi , how many bridgings have you got and when did it start ?

    • @genxwithas
      @genxwithas 10 месяцев назад

      My SI joints started when I was a teenager but was misdiagnosed. It wasn’t until 30 years later I was properly diagnosed. I am fused completely in SI and in 3 lumbar and bridging in rest of lumbar and most of Thoracic. As well as buildup in right shoulder.

      I'm carnivore for 6 months, doing autoimmune fasting (6 days 17 hr, 1 day 24 hr), CBD oil and LDN 2mg for 3 weeks. Fingers crossed my pain is down to a 1. I hope everyone finds some kind of relief as I suffered with pain for 3 years, sleeping like I was in a coffin, unable to walk my dog anymore and unsure it I could continue my job.

    Thanks for sharing. I had a bad flare this past summer. I can really sympathize with the pain, frustration, and fatigue that you are experiencing. I think people without AS just can't understand how miserable it can be. Hang in there. You're not in this alone.

    I'm on the same journey with AS, it is debilitating. Stay as strong as you can be. I found sharing my experiences on RUclips to be a really good coping mechanism.

    It isn't easy to share something personal out here in RUclips land. I hope this is a start in building a community that has this infliction and be a platform to share knowledge, experience, and provide a means of support, both to those who are enduring this, and the family/friends who are coping as well. You always have my complete respect and my full support with this new endeavour. Anything I may be of assistance with, just let me know.
