PLease, I beg you, listen to John. What happened to me should happen to NO ONE.
It took ages, and I mean ages of serious serious pain to recover from leaky gut syndrome. Everyone said take an asprin, ibuprophen, etc....
the American Academy of Rheumatology has a "treatent tree" as all societies do. what is the right thing to do in what order.
THE FIRST line intervention/treatment for AS and ALL I repeat ALL erosive arthritis, is DMARD first..........
NSAID last..........
They used to years ago use NSAIDS first, then DMARD's last, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK.
So it is completly inverted. Your Dr is doing it the old timey way, like my first dr did. This is not current thinking in the field, period. If you are happy with it, I am happy for you,and frightened for you. But I know frst hand what happens to you when they use out date protocols and meds,,,,,
this should be one of the question in the what to ask your dr page...
do you attend current scientific meetings/obtain cme's
do you tend to follow the AAR guidelines/treatment tree for erosive arthritis?
what is your personal treatment tree for this disease....
Ifyou continue NDAID's everyday, I urge, beg, you to check in with John, DragonSlayer, he might be able to give some tips on minimizing the damage. I folow him closley, my Knight in shinning armour, I had no where else to turn, he took my hand, and lead me out.
I am praying fr you honey.bless your little heart. You sound so sweet, so trusting....
I want a tatoo of the chinese symbol for trust no doctor! I lie, I love my new dr he is the MAN. He went right to DMARDS and the big guns too
Best to all
