Frederick,
I take Arcoxia occasionally for my pain, even taking it with Lansoprazole my stomach is still a bit sore. So only use it really when I really need it. Probably tomorrow for work. Regarding my eye issues, I have S.J too. Had my tear ducks plugged. Use artificial tears on a regular basis. My eyes feel like a desert at times, especially during the night. probably had this condition from the age of 21, but didn't realise it then. Had iritis around 8 years ago. Due to complications, I had a cataract operation. I now suffer from severe photophobia within my right eye. Have to wear wrap around sunglasses indoors & out. Been that way for around 8 years. Even wear them for work, office etc.
A.S brings it's daily challenges for most of us, no doubt. Seems to effect different parts of my body now. Moved away from the main areas, seems to be effecting my peripheral joints more. I've suffered from pelvic floor muscles issues recently.
I've been off Enbrel for a while now & feeling it. Due to ear issues. Infections. Once I stop they clear up.
Neither have I experienced any type of remission from my A.S, although I have had lower pain days. Especially whilst on my first anti tnf (Remicade).
