My Journey of Medical Madness

I am 45 years old and have ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, chronic migraine, and autonomic neuropathy, among other things.

Right now I am in an AS flare and have to sleep with oxygen because my ribcage is inflamed, causing me to have nocturnal hypoxia.

My pain is in my neck and shoulders, center of back, lower back and hips, and feet.

I am always hopeful for better days.
