Ok, here's one for the funnyfarm;

Has anyone ever noticed jeans getting thighter when in a flare in hip/lower spine section?

Yeah yeha I know, bring on the you ate too much chocolate jokes

I've tried to keep tabs of my weight though, and it's the same but I actually feel like jeans get thighter when I flare. ....oh God, maybe it's just my imagination for all I know. I'm a guy even and I couldnt care less about my weight to be honest, I just thought I had noticed it.

*shakes head in disbelief at what this illness has me analyzing*

Hi

I haven't noticed that, but I don't like to wear jeans when I am sore because they seem more constrictive . Maybe that is the problem.

hmm..maybe thats a part of it yeah...but they do...feel thighter too. I blushing here now, just asking the question

maybe its fluid retention?

maybe its GI bloating?

just suggesting possible explanations.

I have to agree with Sue. Especially if you are known to have IBS along with your AS. Other than that, I'm stumped. Sounds interesting.
