Newly diagnosed with ankylosing spondyloarthritis

[lactaki]

Hi everyone.Today I had another reymi appointment as I spent my Weekend unable to walk due to a sudden sense of burning all around my right buttock-thigh .First I thought it was my hip joint.I have had enthesitis in both Achille's tendons 4 months now.I knew it was an arthritis type connected with my Crohn's disease but couldn't imagine that. So,Dr said sarcoiliitis -as primary symptom of AS.I'm on Humira since later August but probably haven't worked by now for the inflamed tendons -joints .According to the Dr,it takes 3-6 mothns to take control of the inflammation .Then we can talk about the progress and consider anything else. Meanwhile,my crohn's is in complete remission -after the second shot of humira-but I have this burning sense all over my body .Almost all of my tendons are inflamed and my heels got a little relief probably because of physiotherapies . Is there anyone who has experienced something like that?is it possible for Humira to take control of my symptoms???🥺🥺🥺

Yes it can but as your Dr said it takes some time. I take cimzia for AS and it was well over 6 months before I felt any benefit but when it started working it was very good. You don't have many anti-tnf options so you don't want to give up on humira too quickly!

Good luck!
