Roller coaster flare ride
Hello 👋
It’s my first post here, I am a shy person lol. AS made me go away from everyone; I feel like in a shell 🐚 which is difficult for me to express myself and socialize. My doctor told me to join the community and here I am, trying my best. I was diagnosed in 2014. I need help with some symptoms.
I feel like in a Roller coaster 🎢 flare ride. Bone pain, nerve pinched, no flexibility, pain insomnia, purpura and so on…. But skin flares are the winner of the month. I can’t control my rosacea, hives and psoriasis.
I think is the food, something that I am eating but not sure; any suggestions?
Ps: I am Latina, English is not my first lenguaje so writing is kind of hard. ☺️
Hey
,
Welcome to the community, so glad that you found us!
I think a lot of us can relate to that feeling of hiding in a shell, I was definitely the same after my diagnosis. But after I realised there was a whole community out there of people going through the same things as me it kind of helped me crawl out a bit, so I hope that the same will happen to you soon!
I'm ever so sorry to hear that you have been on this rollercoaster ride with all of these symptoms lately.
I actually wrote an article on some diet changes that I made that helped my AS. They mostly effected my pain and inflammation levels but I shall copy in the link here just in case it is of any use to you!

I'm actually having a little bit of trouble with my psoriasis at the moment too, but if I find a way to get that under control I will be sure to share any tips I discover!
How are you feeling today?
Wishing you well,

PS. Your English is amazing, certainly miles better than my Spanish after countless hours on duolingo haha!
