Snap! (Ankylosing Spondylitis)


What daily medication/pain killers are you on?

Snap? My brother is much worse than me in his mid twenties and is already a hunchback, looks like a question mark used to play rugby, ride his bike everywhere trying to do as much as he can before he seizes up and is an anthropologist studying hunting etc at the moment. Was a brilliant painter but his hands no good for it anymore. I used to so worry about his back/neck snapping when he played contact sports.


I was on Meloxicam ,Propranolol and a slow release morphine patch but now I have gone cold turkey. I started working out again with free weights and a chin/pull up bar after getting very ill with AS and a number of other things and although it still hurts the more I move the better it is. I spend long hours now crouched down ringside with a heavy camera in each hand, and I feel it for a few days after that, but I could not handle being so monged on Morphine etc.

My Bro is much worse and has to apply for permission to have his medication in the cabin in a freezebag on flights. I will ask him what it is but he basically injects a couple times a month and it relives him of much of the pain. Changed his life massively.

Stay as active as possible and use natural sustenance as you can. Positive mental attitude helps as well.

If you have 1 bad day in 6 weeks then that is good.

When they first gave me the morphine patches I burst out laughing because they told me not to ingest them. When I ran out I realised what a big difference they make. I daily/nightly have anti-inflammatories plus codeine with paracetamol too.

@Master, what do you take daily for dodgy knees?

I take supplements such as cod liver oil, vitamin D and B12. Exercise regularly (non-impact on the knees) and eat healthy.

So far knees have been fine since I quit football, so should get knees replaced when I a 65. Which is 20 years time.

When you decide that it is for the best that you fall asleep in bed listening to a documentary rather than fall asleep on the settee listening to led zeppelin.

following on from my last post I suppose, when you have got a week off from work and you decide to have a mini one man party, get 8 cans deep and then decide that rather than hit up your other 4 cans of stella that you bought specifically for this night you decide to watch a documentary on scientists attempting to find dark matter and dark energy that you recorded on BBC4 the other week.

I mean for fucks sake purposely recording shit off BBC4 is old man enough, but these days I do it regularly, the younger version of me hates myself.

Batman are you watching BBC programme about sleep deprivation and link to obesity and type 2 diabetes?

nah I know all about that, staying up late to watch the boxing every week has turned me into a right fat miserable cunt, two more late nights and I reckon I'll lose a foot to diabetes
