Motivation for RA & AS: Lessons from Veterans and Ukraine.

An honest, personal talk about finding motivation to fight rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
In this new video, I share one of the most important lessons I’ve learned while living with autoimmune diseases — how to stay motivated even when everything feels impossible.

If you’re battling an autoimmune condition and feel like giving up — this video might be exactly the reminder you need.

Cannabis for RA or AS?

It may relax you — but it won’t change your life.
Many people with rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis turn to cannabis hoping it will help with pain.
But does cannabis really make things better — or just numb the symptoms for a moment?

In my new video, I share my experience and explain why real progress starts not with cannabis, but with changing your daily routine and your mindset.

RA and AS don’t take days off — and our routine shouldn’t either.

Even a few days without the right routine can bring back stiffness, swelling, and pain.
Daily stretching + walking isn’t optional — it’s what keeps your joints and spine moving.
This simple sequence gives you control over the disease.

Trying to fight RA or AS while still drinking alcohol?

Trust me — that path leads nowhere.
Alcohol and autoimmune diseases don’t mix — neither physically nor mentally.
In this short video, I explain why drinking makes it harder to control inflammation, stay disciplined, and actually change your life with RA or AS.

What helps you forget the pain caused by AS, RA, PsA, and other chronic conditions?

That’s right — passion, hobbies, and genuine interest!
When you’re truly engaged in something, the pain moves to the background.

What’s better than sports, morning exercise, stretching, or walking?
Of course, all of that — but only when you do it with interest and joy.

That’s why I love “quiet hunting” — mushroom picking — even more.

Without even realizing it, you bend, squat, stretch, and walk much more than during your usual outdoor workouts or at the gym.
You forget about health problems, depression, and all the worries of everyday city life.

Meanwhile, your movements are slow and gentle, you breathe in the fresh autumn air, enjoy the smell of pine needles, and admire the bright colors of nature — you simply enjoy!

If you have the chance, try it — you won’t regret it!
Just remember to listen to your body!

Finding Support When Living with RA and AS

We are all different, but one thing I know for sure: in difficult times, everyone needs support. I was lucky to meet people who helped and supported me.
That’s why I also want to give back and support you — no matter what language you speak or what country you live in.
My spoken English is far from perfect, but I do have something important to share — my experience of living with RA and AS.
