Reactive arthritis
I’m about 3 months into what seems to be post-infectious reactive arthritis—likely triggered after unprotected sex in early May. No specific infection was identified, but symptoms began soon after.
There’s been some improvement with antibiotics and rest, but I’m still dealing with body aches, uneven gait, warm/tingling sensations, and difficulty lifting anything heavy without triggering flares. Some days feel close to normal, others not so much.
I’d love to connect with anyone going through something similar—or just someone open to being a recovery buddy.
Thanks 💛
