I’ve been coughing a lot today which is annoying me and I did some googling and apparently scarring on the lungs is possible with ankylosing spondylitis.

I’m worried that having this thing undiagnosed has got me in a bit of bother and I’ve been eating stuff that’s really been attacking me for too long.

I really hope it’s not done some irreversible damage.

The plus side is that I know what I’m dealing with now and I can work on things that will hopefully meet make me feel better than I did before but this coughing is really annoying.
