I have just been cleared as been in "remission", which is fantastic! My ESR is right down and immune system totally suppressed. 3 weeks off enbrel and I can feel a lot of my trouble spots weakening. I am guessing if it's just pain and not inflammation that it's permanent damage to the joints? I would like to stay off the meds to start a family but obviously don't want a major flair in pregnancy. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks

The NO STARCH DIET... Has anyone tried it and if so how successful were you on it? I've joined this site today and had a good look through and not seen it mentioned once! I've been dabbling with it for 2 years and since strictly adhering to it 6 months ago my AS is now in remission. Try it folks!
Asked by Steve as as treatment no pain meds again
I was diagnosed with AS 20 yrs ago following the birth of my son. Intense spinal pain, swelling in several joints & large skin lesions on my legs. After several yrs of treatment it seemed to have went away though I'd have occasional flare ups in other joints. Recently I've noticed lack of mobility & pain in my back, neck, shoulders & chest. My dr suspects a bulging cervical disc but with the nausea & extreme fatigue, I believe it's the AS. Has anyone experienced a remission of this length?

Ive been so lucky for a few years I could barley function and one day after trying to move my girlfriends furniture I tripped on a rug. It felt like hot shooting pain in my leg where the nerve was pinched. After that about a week later my AS has gone into remission. Ive felt an incling of it since and but nothing like I know it can be. I can only hope that all of us get a break like this and try to enjoy life when we do. Here's hoping it never come's back?
