I did not choose this battle. Ankylosing spondylitis is slowly winning but i won't give up my joints hurt the swelling of the loss of montion. Timing is the most important of you catch it early and start the remicade. Am 42 had back surgery felt worse after HLA-B27 positive diagnosis at 40. Ankylosing spondylitis. Am on pain meds remicade once a month. Dosed has been doubled. I understand why someone would take there own. This sucks the pain is unbearable. I see people lifting and working out. I can barley open a can and able to hold it. I have to use both hands for something that requires 1 hand . I hate this its killing me slowly. Physically and mentally

It can be devastating, both physically and mentally, sometimes battles aren't there to win, but maybe just to manage alongside. I wish I could offer you more support. Stay as strong as you can.

autoimmune : like all illness ; when you have it you have it, like it or not the reality is we just have too get on with it, never mind what kind of label or type of ego stroking we need to do too support our fragile human psyche ,and convince ourselves we are special, i have it ,so i just get on with life the best way i can, i don't see myself as a warrior or ' brave' illness is inside me, its not something i can walk away from

Everybody is different, and we each deal with things in our own way, according to our own feelings, beliefs and of course illnesses.
I wouldn't call it ego stroking, what I would label it as, is a community label; something that we can be part of (if we want to of course!)
