Kind of similar with Ank.Spon. just been prescribed biologic drugs but waiting for an appointment to receive them.
Was originally having dicofenac with is an NSAID like ibuprofen but stronger - wasn’t working - so they bumped me up to etoricoxib but got side effects from that like an upset stomach so was advised to stop.
They hold off on the biologics because they are super expensive and only the NHS can dole them out. Apparently they originally designed them for Parkinsons disease but turns out they are a miracle cure for Ank.Spon. Fingers crossed it works out! Would like to be able to get out the flat more often, even going to the office like 3 days a week.
Blood pressure medication.
Was high for years. doctor said we should do this or you should get healthy.
I kept ‘getting healthy’ for years
walking up the steps was pain, knees where pain, i’m like jesus i’m just getting old.
new doctor: you need to stop fucking around and get the meds.
me: ok
i took the meds, 3 days in… I run up the steps like I was 20 years younger.
HOLY FUCK, why the ever-loving hell didn’t I do this before?
