I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis when I was 20, I’m now 28. My medication journey has been nothing short of annoying. I’ve tried nearly all TNF blockers and they help my symptoms, but the injections themselves are horrific for some, or my insurance won’t cover them. Humira: injection site
I have been living with psoriatic arthrisis for almost 2 years. I am 23yo. I caught covid in December 2021 and I started feeling pain in my back out of nowhere. I let a couple of months pass by before the pain worsened and one day I couldn't stand on my left leg without feeling atrocious pain. Went
In a couple of weeks I'll be starting on Taltz (ixekizumab). Is anyone one it? Has anyone been on it? Was it effective? What side effects should I expect? Anything I should know going in?
Tldr - Been through Methotrexate (DMARD) , Humira / Adalimumab (Anti-TNF) , Taltz / Ixekizumab (IL-17A), and currently on Cosentyx / Secukinumab (IL-17A), Sulfasalazine (1000mg) and Ibuprofen (1600mg) I’m thinking of switching to a Jak inhibitor. But all the risks involved are ma
Hi all, My now-4 year old son has ILVEN that I described in [my initial post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ilven/comments/swimto/what_has_been_your_ilven_experience/). Since then, it's grown significantly across the entirety of the left side of his body, from head to foot. It seems to have progress

Going to a small get-together for new years, and the poison ring I bought myself came in JUST in time! Cant wait to discreetly take my mid-party naproxen without having to fish through my purse! Happy new year everyone, may 2026 hurt less than 2025 🥳
I have so much wrong with me. Like it’s genuinely whole body at this point. Back pain, internal tremors, migraines, stomach issues, fatigue, heart palpitations, dysautonomia, rib pain, brain fog, vertigo, muscle inflammation, hands aching, pain that covers my whole body, knees hurting. I could keep
I'm hypermobile and fat and this has caused me to develop osteoarthritis in my hip, normal NSAIDs don't work on me and I'm allergic to naproxen. I'm scared of becoming addicted to opioids because they seem to be the only thing that helps but I've already gotten 2 prescriptions of them and I'm curren
This is more of a rant I guess. I've been struggling with pain for over a decade now, and no matter how bad it gets, I'm given naproxen or acetaminophen. Naproxen doesn't work for me, and it requires high doses of acetaminophen for me to get a small amount of relief. But they are still the only pai
Had a flare up today and usually when this happens I can’t walk. I usually end up in the ER because when I call my doctor I always get “we can’t help you unless you come in” Ma’am you diagnosed me and all I need is a steroid pack and some naproxen to reduce swelling. So when I was finally mobile eno
one more time. I’m going to scream. Anyone with me?
I have chronic pain along with fatigue and other issues and a majority of my pills are for my pain my doctors are trying me on so much before actually giving me anything to relieve the pain. I asked for 500mg naproxen and was given a muscle relaxer to take 3 times a day i’m up to at least 12 pills a
Hey everyone! I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately in this sub and in others about people asking for little things that help manage the pain, so I thought I’d compile a list of stuff that helps me and others can tack on what helps them in the comments. I hope someone finds this useful! - **Prescri
