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: 0/100 | Rib or Shoulder Pain: 0/100 | Concrete Back: 18/100 Today was a funny one. I felt exhausted and drained, yet happy and emotional. The AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis) was on an even keel, which was surprising given the weekend's activities but somehow, I...
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...
