Apremilast is a new med in trial right now, mostly for psoriasis. But in the UK, they're also using it in a trial for AS patients. Is anyone here in a trial for Apremilast for AS? If so, how's it going?

Hi everyone - hope you are all ok, my doc has put me on 600mg of Ibuprofen x3 per day for now, but it's giving me tummy ache and bad indigestion - am I right in thinking that I can't take an indigestion remedy (Gavisgon etc.) while I'm taking the ibuprofen?

Sitting here at a pity party (alone of course) thinking how the hell did I get here and wondering what the friggin future holds. Pain meds are starting to become less and less effective. I have lingering pain even with percocet but don't want to take to many and not wake up one day. The pain is still tolerable but the fatigue is horrible and seems to be worse between pills. Is that a sign my body is craving the narcotic?

Sulfasalazine has gotten me out of bed and decreased my fevers, hip pain, and severe fatigue. However, 50% of my days are still "flare days", where I can't do anything but lay in bed, SI/hip killing me, and generalized aches with low grade fevers. Is this a good result, or can I expect better and demand more aggressive medication management?

Has anyone used the BuTrans patches? I have been on 40mg Oxycontin 1 every 12 hours for about a year but at my visit last week she told me to begin taking 1 oxy per day to "taper off" and start using 5mg BuTrans patches. I'm just wondering how well they would work vs. Taking the pills.
