Does your stress impact your AS?

@GloriaG I think stress definitely has an impact on our AS. When you're stressed your hormones go haywire and it can trigger inflammation responses, and since AS is an imflammatory disease it must be triggered too. Has this happened to you since? I often don't feel well when I have things going on at work.

@sASha!  I guess that my condition will always be up and down and as a nurse who is still confined to home, I'm frustrated. I've been organising food supplies for those villagers who are in desperate need which is all I can do from home really. I did try to go out in the car with my daughter and a driver last weekend to buy from farmers, a long journey and since then I have been in so much pain. It did take a lot of energy as everything had to be sorted into each individuals needs and put in bags. I didn't notice the pain until the next day. My car is very high off the ground and dragging myself up and down into and out of it, was difficult. Do you think that could have started the flare up or is it just me with too much thinking. Hugs..G
