Anyine Take Biologics For Spondylitis
My Rheumatologist has recommended that I start on biologics (such as Enbrel, Humira) for spondylitis?
Im a bit nervous. The one side effect I am aware of is it can lower immune system, making you more susceptible to illness. Plus it would require I give myself shots 😮😥
Does anyone have experience with this? Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks 💜

Ankylosing spondylitis. An inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and large joints. (Particularly sacroiliac joints) my first sign was testing positive for HLA-B27 gene which is a common gene in people with AS. Then x-ray showed arthritis in sacroiliac area.
Hi @A MyFibroTeam Member I was recommended to try Humira as well but declined because of the side effects. I suffer with degenerative discs in my neck and back. I did find some information about your condition that may be educational for others...

gotta try something different. I pray the naturopath helps!

It isn't yet that can be if left untreated. I'm still weighing my options on that. In the meantime, the Fibro still has gotten the best of me, basically bedridden due to pain and fatigue.
I am going to see a naturopath next week.
Hopefully I can afford to follow her recommend treatment. They don't take insurance, of course.
My sister has been to her and assured me she can help me.

It does lower immune system. Is this diagnoses worse than the fibro?
