Has anyone noticed a red rash or acne like blotches on their backs? Is this part of AS or is it something else? I have noticed I have it from my shoulders all the way down to my legs, and it's only on my back. I keep meaning to ask my dr about it but my memory has been getting bad also. Thanks!
Asked by Scott Michael as symptoms
Flu-like fatigue, aches & pains & sometimes chills have been bothering me for years. Is this considered a flare-up? My rheumy has talked about fibromyalgia, but it is unclear to me if what I am feeling is an AS symptom, or fibromyalgia. Also, when I feel this way, my body temp drops to 97.1. Does this happen to others? (I was only recently diagnosed and have been on Humira for 4 months).

How was everyone diagnosed? I was just recently diagnosed by my bone and MRI scans, inflammation markers, and symptoms. But I tested negative for the HLA-B27 test.

Asked by Nimi Kremer as and medication as treatment ankylosing spondylitis
14 year old male with severe ankylosing spondylitis. 3 month of severe coccyx pain, Doctors wanted me to have an MRI because they where scared that i have bone cancer. They found that my coccyx was curved inwards at 90 degrees. They want me to pass a coccygectomy (removal of the coccyx). I am taking these medications: Naproxen, Humira, Rokacet and tramadex. I was wondering if any of you guys also have coccyx pain?

My husband has AS, 64 years old, and has begun dropping things. Is this a common thing with AS or should we look further?
Asked by Melba Whitaker as symptoms
Has anyone with AS experienced brief episodes of their back and extremities (arms, hands, hips, legs, caffs and feet becoming intensely stiff for a few hours and then subsiding? I have had AS for over 20 years and this is a new kind of discomfort where virtually my entire body becomes very achy/sore and stiff. It last for a four hours or so and then subsides somewhat.
Asked by Darin ankylosing spondylitis as symptoms
Does anyone get chronic kidney stones associated to AS or Remicade? I have passed over 100 stones in the past 2 years and I've been told that since I make them and pass them so quickly there is little to be done to prevent them? Also they are calcium oxalate. I have high amounts of calcium in my blood which I was told is bad as its being pulled from my bones. Just had surgery on one kidney to remove a blockage and then I had a stent in for 2 weeks, don't ever want to do that again! Anybody?

Spread this like wildfire! Over a decade of AS and still very healthy. I've emailed him a few question to learn more. Do spare a moment to look at his videos and take advantage! www.facebook.com/AnkylosingSpondylitisAdvice www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKK4Kw_yp24&feature=plcp
