Living With AxSpa and Peripheral Spondyloarthritis

Ugh- Managing two conditions is no fun at all. How are you doing currently? -Latoya (Team Member)

, I'm in the same boat as you and many others. Peripheral spondylorarthritis (also in my spine now), the usual disc protrusions thru out, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and the newest (diagnosed with genetic sequencing) is Ehler's Danlos 7A. I thought, no big deal, I can manage this. Well, after researching this I now understand why I've had (excuse me while I vent) mitral valve prolapse, Allen Masters Syndrome (great fun) my peritoneum ruptured and wrapped around my ovarian ligament, hiatal hernia, major skin problems, TMJ which a lot of us have, levoscoliosis, terrible craniocervical pain due to super weak muscles, torn rotator cuffs with severe tendonitis, right shoulder replacement bilateral hip replacement, more prone to vascular complications, Factor V deficiency; bleeding disorder. I could go home that's really enough. So yeah having more than one disorder is a huge weight on your shoulders. We are the people that others look at us and say there is nothing wrong with you. Meanwhile you could cry in your coolaid due to the pain your dealing with. So yeah, what you said. I hope your doing well and have a sunnier disposition than I do. Spring is around the corner and warmer days are on the way. Green grass, birds singing, hummingbirds, dragonflies and bees all to be enjoyed. We really are blessed.
