I've been getting steadily worse with my gastro ailments since... hmmm.... February or March? Yesterday I was jogging to the bathroom every few hours and my stomach was roiling. I figured it was something I was eating.

Then I reviewed the side-effects on the medicine I was taking for my AS, sulfasalazine. It was really helping with my pain and stiffness... but unfortunately intestinal problems and stomach pain were some of the side effects. It just came on so gradually I didn't think it was due to that med.

So today is day 2 without the med and I'm keeping my fingers crossed it was that.

Already I'm waking up in the night though, in pain from the arthritis in my hips and shoulder and neck. Oh brother.
