Brandi from someone that deals with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I have those aches and pains daily. I have to go to my RA doctor and get two shots of Cimzia once a month. I am injected with these shots in my stomach. I choose my stomach but could get them in the fatty parts of my legs but that seems to hurt more. They are terribly expensive but luckily, I have insurance. I hate this for you and will keep you in my prayers (not as if I don't daily) There is an ointment that I use on my joints, and it helps a lot. I recommend you try this for your joints. It is Voltaren for arthritis pain. My dr told me to get this and it helps when my joints start to act up in the middle of the night. I hope you feel better soon. I love you, Granddaughter.
I’ve been dealing with a lot of low back and hip pain the last couple of years and I’ve attributed it to age, menopause and gluten intolerance. Last week I suddenly had a big red blotch on my right eye and I have no idea what caused that. But this is making me think I need to be more mindful. I’m so sorry you are dealing with this! I hope you get it all figured out soon ❤
I've been wanting to start a health log. Like how people track their sleep, foods they eat and how they feel after they eat them, noting anytime they have pain, blurry vision, etc.. Health is everything and we could all benefit from becoming more vigilant. Praying for you! I know it's scary, just try to take things one day at a time :)
Yes! That would be absolutely fascinating. They immediately told me to focus on cutting down inflammation in my body in any way I could, so I made sure to take a hard look at my old food allergen test. I so appreciate your support. This was just the first of what I'm sure will be many frustrating/scary weeks ahead. But we'll get it sorted
I fully expect to receive comments and messages with helpful suggestions from all of you who have experienced something like this. I just wanted to let you know, that Ben will most likely be moderating the comments section right now, as I am trying to reduce my screen time as much as possible.
@krissicrain2641 thanks for letting me know. Depending on how the next few weeks shake out, I will definitely keep that in mind! Hope you and yours are doing well! @@krissicrain2641
I know the unknown is scary especially when it comes to medical situations. But stay positive and follow what the doctor tells you to do. I love you and i’m praying for you.
I am presently being treated for Iritis. Same eye drops plus one for the pressure, Brimonidine. Only difference is I had cataract surgery in June of 23, perfect vision until September of year. Been using the drops for about a month and go back this coming Monday for another check. Some kind of autoimmune too. Hope yours is on the mend too.

Yes! If I were you, I'd definitely get it checked out. These are the only bodies we have!

Rachel Crain (my sister in law) has AS and I’m sure she’d be happy to talk to you about it if you reach out to her!

100% and I definitely will. Love you!
You'll get through this and figure out what's causing it!
Absolutely!

It's hard when things change so abruptly! I'm glad you have found a team to help you on your road to recovery!
If you or someone you know has ever dealt with Uveitis or Ankylosing Spondylitis, I would love to hear about your/their experience.
love you!
Love you more!
