beach doesn't make the pain go away but it sure looks better here

By -
So, spending time at the beach with the family this week. I was really hoping that the beautiful beach would help with this awful pain but being hit in the back with a full beach bag and the man not even realizing he did it, has NOT helped!

I love being able to see the ocean/beach while I type this, but really hate the fact that I can't just ride the banana boat with my girls! I'd love to be able to do this just one more time. Maybe had I realized that I was going to have this dreadful disease I would have done a LOT of things like that!

I'm thinking that you should never say NEXT TIME!! Will there be a next time? Reminds me of the movie "Remember Me"...she orders dessert first. Why? he says..she says, well, that's my favorite part and can you 100% guarentee that nothing will happen and I'll still be here for dessert?

Can any of us..guarentee that we'll be here tomorrow? NO...I can guarentee that I'll be in heaven and I'm thankful that I have the gift of eternal life with Jesus. I am not guarenteed this earthly life, but I am my heavenly life with my Father in Heaven.

So, with the pain that my back is in right now....with this dreaded Ankylosing spondilitis..I'm reminding you DO TODAY...don't put off things. Don't wait till tomorrow.

I will be having dessert first tonight!!! Why not?!

A.S may have my body but it will NEVER have ME!!!

when your DR says, "you are making my brain hurt"

The moment the ophthalmologist puts his hands on the side of his head and says, “you’re making my brain hurt”.   Have you ever had this happen while at the specialist for a recurring visit? I have!   AS is in my eyes! Living with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has certainly been a challenge. When you’re diagnosed they really don’t tell you all that can happen.   Basically, they just tell you about the potential for spinal fusion.   They leave out that AS can damage every joint in your body!   They leave out that AS can affect your eyes, your heart, your lungs, can cause inflammation behind your vocal box (not fun for this singer) and yes, can cause death. Why is it that so much information isn’t shared when you’re diagnosed?   One reason is simply that some doctors aren’t fully aware of what AS is and does.   Another reason is there is too much old data and information out there.   And lastly, AS effects each person differently.   Autoim...

Don’t confuse inflammation with weight gain/loss and/or bloating Just let that sink in a minute.  Some have already stopped reading...if you're wanting knowledge and education of inflammatory disease...continue on... Let me just begin this post by saying…yes! I’m going to make some of you mad and you’ll probably unfollow me on social media…I don’t really care. In a world of be careful what you say or post-- In a world of #metoo--- In a world of “political correctness”---- I see a LOT of folks saying (posting pictures) look at all this inflammation I had and now look at me.   Yes!   I see you’ve lost WEIGHT, but I do NOT see inflammation.   So to kick off this New Year full of get your gut right, drink my drink and/or join the gym and everything will be perfect in your life STOP! JUST! STOP!   You are actually insulting those of us who truly suffer from an inflammatory disease; those of us who are PRESCRIBED the only thing that will help with i...

Just trying to "do life" with AS and sometimes it's hard!

I think I always start with how long it’s been since my last post.   Also if you are the grammar police, then don’t read anymore!   I’m certainly horrible at grammar and spelling, and don’t need to be told!   The last several months have been a real struggle for me.   In September I started having hives and I don’t just mean a little breakout.   I’m talking covered from head to toe and even down my throat.   Shots and steroids were given for what we thought was an allergic reaction….but to what?!   So, I went off meds and started adding one at a time—NOTHING!   Who knows what the cause was.   So, I go for my SimponiAria infusion in October and a couple days later…BAM covered again!   Shots and steroids and NO MORE SimponiAria. This has to be the cause.   Granted I do NOT want to be COVERED in hives again, but this was the LAST TNF for me!   I’ve been through all that are AS approved.   This did not make me happy, be...
