AS bones hardening… how long?

I was diagnosed with bamboo spine 3 months ago after 6 months of chronic pain where I’m in a wheel chair now when I was still walking only 6 months ago… even being on meds that help somewhat I’m still feeling great pain and I’ve been told once my bones finishing hardening the pain reduces? Any clues how long this takes (blood test reveal my inflammation is in normal parameters atm)

  1. A little better but eyeshit really shit after eyeball scrapings in Tuesday … thanks for asking

    1. Not great but thanks for asking

      1. Thanks Nadine it’s been hard and emotionally very angry at what I’ve lost in such a short time, but seeing therapist now is helping. Thanks again 🙏🏻

        1. @Teaguemoore This disease can take so much from us. I am sorry to hear you have lost so much. I know the feeling having to change a lot on life because of this disease. Anger is only normal to feel. How are you feeling today?
