Consigli delle persone con esperienza nella Spondilite anchilosante per le persone a cui è stata appena diagnosticata la Spondilite anchilosante

Originale


Stay strong as Ankylosing Spondylitis is a big word alot don't understand or even known what it is so do your research. Look up AS in all forms you can and learn the disease. Spondylitis Association of America in the US is a great site and also has free brochures they will mail you with information as well. NASS is international. So know all you can and keep looking. I also ordered several books and read them from reputstble authors and have information to my family as well. It is very important to have a support system of family and friends and even a group on social media. There are lots and lots of groups on social media some great and some not. So just make your own judgement. You don't want one that always has negativity in it. You need support. But keep in mind most groups are there for people to vent because alot don't have support at home. So others should be responding offering help. Good sign. Also positive post a well boosting moral and education too. Movement is the key as well as we have morning sriffness and stiffness when we sit or stop so some kind of movement or walking around the house, down the street, easy yoga, getting in the pool, etc, but some kind of movement. You don't need your joints to lock up on you. When newly diagnosed sometimes the Dr will order therapy which is great so he sure to do that or if you are having problems with mobility or using your hands ask the Dr if they will write and order for you to go. Remember to BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE!!! Stand up for yourself and your rights, ask questions of you don't understand something. Read the Spoon Theory, it explains how we use our energy everyday. It is just a short one page read but great info. So always remember you are not alone, it is not your fault, we are here for support, help your family and friends understand, so the best you can to move around and keep reading and education yourself. Research is constantly changing. Although there is no cure new meds are coming out and helping. Also ignore the ignorance of others who see you looking fine on the outside but have no clue what you are dealing with on the inside who make smart remarks. Simply be the bigger person and smile and educate. Best of luck!
