Subject: Suspected Ankylosing Spondylitis :S
Hi every one I went to see my rheumatologist yesterday in Cumnock. He discussed to me about the inflammation in my Sacroiliac joints he said that it has been there for quite a while. He has put me on 500mg of naproxen and sulphasalazine (sp). He said that he thinks it is AS but he wants to rule out everything else. My stomach problems and my red itchy eyes ( which i get every now and again) 7 months ago I left work because I had really bad back pain that actually made me unable to walk sometimes and now I have a condition. It is very daunting and I am actually a little scared to be honest. Pain moves about my body but i have consistent pain from dull aches to sharp and sharp pains in my wrists and knuckles. Sleeping isnt so good either I have to lay very flat to at least get some comfort. To anyone who has AS or any advice you are more than welcome to send me a message. Fiona Mcmillan 24yrs x
