Researchers found both compositional & functional gut #microbiome differences in people with various types of arthritis and I like their caution in concluding these are probably a RESPONSE to system-wide inflammation, rather than the cause of it.

#rheumatoid #ankylosing #psoriatic #arthritis

Sigh, that was a really rough #Ankylosing Spondylitis flare up 😳. It lasted 4 days and took 2 days to semi recover from. Sigh. I kept thinking it was christmas all day yesterday😂😂. At least its over and im almost back to my normal self. I hope everyone is having a beautiful holiday :D
@michswiss There are a lot of people on the other app with #ankylosing #spondylitis. You and I are here.

@Phoenix_Borealis Neither did I! And yes! I totally want one too, especially if it works out to be more comfortable to wear.

I'm physically disabled, myself, suffering from #rheumatoid and #spondyloarthritis (#ankylosing) along with #fibromyalgia, so something like this seems perfect for me given how hot, heavy, and fatigue-inducing regular #fursuits are, especially if they're #digitigrade in any manner.

I'll have to keep this in my ideas box for the future.

Ooof, that was a most unusual and painful feeling. I went to standup and just felt the joints in my spine click into place X..x

P.S.
I have #spondyloarthritis for those that don't know (not sure if #ankylosing at the moment, it's been a decade since my last checkup).
