Being a patient of AS...It feels a bit comfort knowing I am not only one to suffer..😂...Its also encouraging..

Could a flare in the knee be misdiagnosed as a meniscus tear?

I wish that we had rehab in the USA. Yes, my house is a mess by my standards. I’m waiting for Otezla to work on my swollen feet and aching body!

I am 51. I have a still undiagnosed sickness that I susoect is AS. It has ruined my life. No job, no house, no pension, no savings, I am utterly ruined and despite the urgency, I can not work. No Dr has ever taken it seriously. I had it at age 15. Now I do not bother with Drs

Soccer not football

Some of the things she says make me want to cry! I can’t find a doctor that would take seriously. I now live in the Netherlands and when I finally hit to see an TA doctor, she told me she couldn’t find anything and that maybe fibromyalgia but there is no treatment for it. I suffer from migraines and barometric pressure issues, the neurologist gave me amitriptyline (25mg) and it helps a little but it’s true, the side effects are awful. I wish there was a way to get all her slides! She gives so much information. I wish she was my doctor! 😢

What treatment/medication did the doctor give you? I use a no/low starch diet and that has been the trick for me. But- I like you- had 10 years of severe pain until I got diagnosed. This was a touching video. Thank you. What made you decide to produce this video?

Yoga, light exercise, nail mat and go organic plant based foods helped me a lot. No problem sleeping. Takes years to improve. Never take pills you will get side effects guaranteed.

Hi this is a great information talk. I went into remission for a long time. I started eating gluten and things started to turn 🍐 shape. Itchy back , inflammation in a knuckle in my left finger and now in a joint in my toe left foot. I'm all this, RA signs but not positive in the blood. Anyways l have a mix of labels as well as hashimotos. I started on caster oil applying on my knockle and inflammation has gone . Itchy skin has gone . Have gone gf again . I'm waiting for my foot to get better

You walk better then me jm.bone on bone

Thank you 😢 I am suffering and I believe this is what I have. I know I have to keep moving.

I’m 57 been dealing with fibromyalgia for about five years finally got the actual diagnosis here recently. It’s a bit of a drag, but the more I move the better it is.

I was diagnosed 49 years ago the doc just gave me pain killers x said some people end up in a wheelchair by they are 50yr.no advice.l take suppliments x low carbs diet also use the gym this has helped me.but still get flare ups.x

I have been suffering from AS for 12 years. I am now 44. I do exercise minimum 1 hour in a day. No problem with my posture or apperance. But ı sometimes feel pain and ıt takes for months unless ı take anti-inf tablets. I don' t want to take any pill but ı feel have to do. I hope medical experts find a core cure for this chronic illness. I wonder why ı suffer pain although ı do sports regularly and eat healty foods. I don't smoke, ı don't drink alcohol alot. Just imagine a normal super life but still suffer pain and try to understand it.

I really wish if doctors could find some sort of treatment for this. It really kills you when you see your friends enjoying playing and having fun and you are just unable to get off bed. My whole childhood was wasted suffering this pain. I'm an adult now but still have unbearable pain. Please god save us from this pain.

I was diagnosed at age 21 and ive never bern controlled...the extreme tiredness is just too too much! 😢

I have AS to but I take AS as a positive thing because I used to be 120 kg and it motivated me to loose weight and be active and now I am 74 kg fit and fine everyday doing exercises, though it pains some times but the pain goes away if I continue doing my exercises 😊

I am from India I am pasent as. Treatment

I wish I was able to go for walks again. 😢

Love your last statement.

I had this since i was 16 now im 33

There are more than one hundred scientific studies proving that a plant based diet can significantly reduce pain and inflammation, and in certain cases 100% reverse RA. So, yes, cutting all animal products is vital to manage RA.

35:55 Would bigger muscles not put more strain on the ligaments and therefore increase the risk of detachment from bone? (Was told PSA can attack the ligaments. Stronger muscles puts more stress on ligaments. Yes, ligaments can adapt, but isn't psa simultaneously weakening them? )

Tryptophan in kefir helps serotonin. Helps gut microbes

How many vacancies do veterans get ??

I am 50 years old and I have been diagnsed AS fro 3 yers

Did it actually say what treatment the lady is on? Biologics presumably?

I’m 45 I was diagnosed when I was 26 and had 6 vertebrae then now I have only 2 vertebra left from total fusion. I was a very active and outdoor person and was in sports growing up football and wrestling 9 years and marching band but it’s so hard at times to stay positive but am involved in church God has been good even when we suffer I count it Joy stay strong and remember there are people that need to hear your story thank you so much

Diet also plays a huge role (I suppose for the secondary type), with patients reporting improvements through leaving out certain foods (often gluten and diary), discovering they actually have hashimotos and other fun stuff. For me, i have muscle tension in my back and I suspect it is affecting my pain threshold and perception. I am getting that treated. Also gluten and dairy unfortunately. I have two family members with fibromyalgia, and I am dead set on managing the things that show up immediately and share what I know with them.

I am also a patient of (AS) And I did think that it really helped and motivated my mind to practise and feel reliable to struggle more but this struggling will bring a piece of cake One day. I strongly believe that I would be able to do this and have relief from The Pain and So Sweet of you.

I don't believe her, she does not look like having AS. I have AS and cannot walk.

I am fatigued when I wake up in the morning

How do you spell cero positive please?

I’m struggling badly with the Rheumatoid version. Can’t get off the steroids. On Salzapirin and Hydroxychloriquin and consultant says try Humira later but I’d never be able to jab myself. I want to die. Live alone. Can’t clean,cook,shop. Lost my job.

I’m in the north of Ireland , if anyone reading this subject please let us know

I just hit on a subject today about fibromyalgia. It was seen on utube America . Thy have stated a new treatment it’s called Savella, unfortunately it’s not approved in uk , if everyone that has this horrible disease ,why will the government not allow the uk people to recieve this medication , Because reading the reviews this medication is a life saver , if anyone can help

Why is it that every single illness consists of a life time of medications. I do not want to swallow pills everyday for the rest of my life.

Just got diagnosed with it today !! I am feeling very low, I am 29 and already feel that i have a huge burden to carry for rest of my life. Any support groups in Ireland ?

Ankylogics spondylitis and axspa are same?

I’ve had AS diagnosed for over 40 years and agree one needs to keep on moving.

Dr Angela! We need another talk from you!!

HELLO DR O SHEA I was confirmed with this condition by you back in 2006 at Toronto Western and it is finally doing what you predicted. I had the MRI this year and its time to treat it as aggressively. I have taken a cortisone shot and i am not sure what to do.

I was a stable psoriatic arthritis patient on anti Tnf therapy for over 10 years until 2021 and even though I didn’t contract covid until 2022 my arthritis became active in the summer of 2021 and has me left with continuously inflamed foot tendons. Only thing I did differently was take all the bloomin Covid vaccines and looking back now I blame the immune response the generated. Nothing is working now and I can’t even wear shoes never mind walk!

I have chronic psoriasis and psoratic arthritis. I have severe nail pitting and occasionally swelling around the eyes. Q: I also have dysphagia can that be a syptom of psoratic arthritis?

Thank you for sharing Amanda 🌅 So inspiring

Are you seeing Covid related arthritis? My hand swelling, pain, and limited mobility came on over 1 month. No inflammatory markers are positive and nothing has been identified. Thanks

had it for fifty years pain free now don't know why

How unfortunate. Why she had to inject politics into this is baffling. How small of her in the face of such an enormous issue. I’m embarrassed for her.

When I was a kid I was diagnosed with psoriasis. My dermatologist told me when I got older I may develop psoriatic arthritis. I was diagnosed three months ago. I feel like I am walking through mud. Always so active, now as active as a slug.

I have had AS for 20 years, but I didn't let it stop me and had an amazing career in the ocean. I was unfortunately hit by a car, and it made my AS so much worse. I also injured my back further afterwards, and I am barely able to walk now. I have to use a walking stick for the pains in my leg from the car impact, but also to relieve my back pains. After 20 years I have finally been diagnosed, and this video has brought so much hope back to my life. I have done over 5000 scuba dives in 15 years, and in the past 4 years I haven't dived and it has destroyed my soul. Been fighting with severe depression for a very long time now, and there is finally some light at the end of the long dark tunnel.
