Woke up today feeling a little bit ropey and I’ve just realised that is probably because of the second Coronavirus jab I had yesterday. Didn’t feel great after the first one so hoping that’s it.
The main thing is that I now have ankylosing spondylitis pain behind my left knee so that’s FUN.

SI Pain: 6/100 | Rib Pain: 0/100 | Concrete Back: 16/100 I felt stiff and achy today. I want to say that it's from doing a different form of yoga last night, but I don't think it was. Most of the moves were quite similar. I suspect I'm feeling it from the enormous...
SI Pain: 5/100 | Rib Pain: 0/100 | Concrete Back: 14/100 We know stress, inflammation and autoimmune disease symptoms are tightly linked. They are for every human being, regardless of whether they have an autoimmune disease. Both yesterday night and this morning, I...
