Ok, this is either scary or amazing. Everytime I see one of these posts its something I've been diagnosed with as well. I definitely feel better coming here. I'm on Levothyroxine every day too. Thyroid problems, blood pressure problems...looks like we've got it all :(

I take .125 of Levothyroxine for my Thyroid. I had problems with my hands and feet for about 15 years. I asked about arthristis and was told it was my thyroid. Would get the test back that I had a good balance of meds and yet I still had the pain. Twelve years later dx'ed with AS.

It would be helpful if you would share what meds you are on. It is difficult to answer blind because we most probably all have a different regime that we follow and different levels of and side issues of AS.
Are you seeing an Endocrinologist for your Thyroid and a Rheumatologist for your AS and do you have a good primary care physician that can keep track of everything and keep all the balls in the air at the same time? I think it is really important not to get fragmented with your health care.
Also a lot of people with AS seem to have Thyroid problems. I am learning that there are several things that AS can affect because it is an autoimmune disease. I hope you have good/pain free days ahead. by Patricia 2 years ago

If you mean the anti-TNF therapy, I do believe it takes a while for it to work for some people :) I'm presently in the screening process to go on them myself.

- I find that when I say I have AS and it's a form of arthritis people say 'yeah I know what arthritis is'. But they don't know. How do you explain to people it isn't something you can see, that what they think should help arthritis isn't actually going to help or fix it?
