If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

I have been nsd for about 4 weeks with pretty good results. My pain was almost gone just some minor inflammation in my shoulder blades. I had some ham on sunday and by Monday my pain levels increased alot in my mid back area. I guess there was some starch in the ham or flavoring. How long due flares typically last? Any ideas how to speed it up the flare?

It's a bummer that so many meats contain fillers ( link about fillers ). For me, starch-induced flares generally last about one to two days. All I can do is wait it out. It's at those times I take an NSAID, such as naproxen sodium (Aleve). --Greg
AS symptoms started 1991. Official dx in 2006 with HLA-B27+, fused SIJ, bone spurs in back, extreme rib/hip pain, and other family with SpA. Started Enbrel in 2006 with good results, but stopped in 2010 due to nerve damage (MS) from it. Getting good results with no-starch diet since 2011.
