I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?

View allI'm 30 and have been dealing with ankylosing spondylitis since June 2020, with a positive HLA-B27 test. I really want to avoid my vertebrae fusing together but don't want to rely on medicines. Can exercises, physiotherapy, or other therapies help prevent fusion? If fusion does happen, can it be reversed with therapy or will I need surgery? I can handle the pain but the idea of my spine or neck fusing scares me. How long does fusion usually take if it happens? Any advice would mean a lot.
A combination of medicines and exercise will be the best way forward. Taken alone neither will help completely.

I'm really worried about my mom's health. Her ESR is high at 64 and her hemoglobin has dropped to 8.9. Two months ago, she had a blood transfusion and her hemoglobin was up to 10.8, but now it's gone back down. The doctor has her on Livogen XT, and for her vasculitis, she's taking Omnacortil 5 and MMF 101 BF. We see a rheumatologist every month, and he said not to worry about the ESR, that it will just be like that. Is this really okay? I'm just concerned and need some reassurance.
It sounds like your mothers condition is being managed carefully with the right medications, including Omnacortil and MMF for vasculitis. The low hemoglobin and high ESR can be concerning, but they are sometimes part of the ongoing inflammation or treatment effects in such conditions. It's important to follow her rheumatologist's advice and keep regular check-ups, as they are closely monitoring her health. If you're still concerned, dont hesitate to discuss further with her doctor.

I've been having this sharp pain on the upper left side of my chest, and it tends to get worse when I move around, like when I stand up or go for a walk. Sometimes, I even feel it between my chest. Could this be costochondritis, and if it is, what kind of medicine would help? I'm just worried if everything's alright.
