Reece- Life with AS.

UK based 27 year old male recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and this is my life.

[Reece- Life with AS. @LifewithAS]

I’m looking for some help/ advice #Ankylosingspondylitis
Currently feeing lost/ alone while consistently getting worse and in more intense pain while being ignored by professionals.

My story so far-
Went do the doctor with AS symptoms 2 years ago aged 25 (my father has it)...

Do I just sit and wait hoping I dont develop irreversible damage? I don’t know what to do and feeing ignored/ lost. If you got this far and can help or advise in any way please do. And thank you.

of- was told they don’t exist and was kicked out the office for arguing. (Later I got the nurse to prescribe me some).
But since then I’ve just been at home still in increasing pain feeling myself getting worse even with a diet change and stretching ect.

@poppymaelangxxx @AnkyieSpon @ThomasCallaly Seems weird they let you eat white rice it’s basically got no nutritional value compared to brown.

2 weeks into cutting out any foods that cause inflammation out of my diet and the intensity has diminished a lot. Definitely worth trying. #as #AnkylosingSpondylitis

@ThomasCallaly Congratulations.

[Reece- Life with AS. @LifewithAS]

@AnkyieSpon @poppymaelangxxx @ThomasCallaly It recommends 1-2 glasses a day so.
Wine o’clock it is.

@poppymaelangxxx @ThomasCallaly And added a lot of anti-inflammatory foods- fatty fish, organic fruit (pineapple especially), more vegetables, garlic, ginger, turmeric, red wine. I feel a lot better.

[Reece- Life with AS. @LifewithAS]

@poppymaelangxxx @ThomasCallaly Carbohydrates (potatoes, rice, bread ect), red meat, any processed food, white sugar, fizzy drinks, artificial sweeteners, all oils (bar coconut and extra virgin olive oil) Are the basics.

@ThomasCallaly I know, I was in so much pain and currently do not take any prescribed medication, so I thought I would help myself first before masking it with painkillers
