Hi, I'm new to 7 cups. Came her for a handful of reasons, but most challenging being pain from my Ankylosing Spondylitis. I've been struggling with AS for about 10 years, but it's gotten worse each year. I was diagnosed as a teen, and was adamant to not let the disease dictate the kind of life I wanted to have. I was relatively successful until a the pain reach my chest and caused a lengthy hospital stay; since then I feel like I have no control over it.

@forcefulGlobe8725 I took out the number, as we're not allowed to share contact info on 7cups.

@Wheresthelove86 Welcome! That's awful it got so bad and you can't control it as well as before. I know there's been a lot of new autoimmune medications that have come out but it can also be difficult to afford them/get coverage. Have you been able to try different treatments?

@AffyAvo Hello, thanks for the response. I have been able to get approved for a lot of different meds, but thus far nothing has helped. I'm running out of energy to keep pushing.

@forcefulGlobe8725 I've editted your post again. We're not supposed to give medical advice and dosages aren't allowed at all. It would be better if you phrased it as I know someone who found lcox to be really effective for them and they didn't have any side effects. Hopefully that clarifies the rules a bit.
