Adrianli Hypersonic July 25, 2012 Author Share July 25, 2012 Good + great news for me. Just visited the specialist yesterday for my AS after completing my MRI scan last week. MRI was not a very good experience for me. Confirmed I have AS. Dude, the first doc who saw me already told me that like 7yrs ago w/o needing any MRI scan report. His prognosis was, my AS does not affect my daily routine or sports at all cos due to some miracle, fats start to deposit on the tip of the bones where inflammation used to happen. He showed me in details where the fats were. The MRI images were good lah, like watching Full HD movie of ur own body as he zoom in layer by layer under the skin. The fat deposits thus provide relief for my back so I do not have much pain or stiffness. He was happy with the MRI results and put me on yearly appointment instead or three to six monthly previously. No medication needed for me too. He told me to take panadol should my pain become too unbearable. He further requested my permission to take my physical measurements and blood sample for their research purpose as it would help other patients who have AS. Sorry, the doc cannot give me the MRI scan, here is a pic of where the fats deposited themselves : Taken from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankylosing_spondylitis ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic July 25, 2012 Author Share July 25, 2012 If it is giving you pain or is going to give you pain, how is it good news? The pain is always there. It is just whether its bearable or unbearable. When it was really unbearable, cant even get up of bed. Its good news for my condition. Even the doc was surprised with my condition. An AS patient can still do sports and no problem with daily routine. Just a few stretching in the morning and I am ready to start the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonpaul0104 2nd Gear July 25, 2012 Share July 25, 2012 i have IBS too. it has affected my outdoor life greatly last time....i need assurance that wherever i go, there must be toilet. i have learnt to overcome the fear and have learnt to relax and stay calm so my tummy and bowel wont go haywire. previously i have IBS as well.....was very stressed when driving and to make sure i know where are all the available toilets... since I changed my diet, my IBS is almost gone 90%....what caused it? Too much chilli consumed as well as snacking on too much roasted type of chilli cuttlefish (those from Thailand if you know what i mean) i stop these 2 intakes and it work very well for me....now I go anywhere or drive long distance without fear......even can drive to genting now with only 2 stops for meals & petrol.....

Adrianli Hypersonic July 25, 2012 Author Share July 25, 2012 you are joking right? No. have not tasted beer for close to two years. I dont drink heavily but do enjoy one or two cans of beer occasionally. Esp when I go to wedding dinners or company dinner, everyone cheers with beer, wine or hard liquor. Me holding a glass of orange juice or coke. But also good cos no need scare road block. But I prefer to watch soccer, drink one or two cans of beer and some tibits. Great way to relax. So I hope my liver specialist will tell me my liver is ok now or reduced then I can consume a little little bit of beer at the rare occasion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
