Wondering if any of you have "neurological" symptoms that have been attributed to your AS? I've had progressive weakness, worsened by heat and over-activity, since August. They've done all kinds of neuro tests and have come up with nothing. If you have neuro symptoms what are they like and does your AS medication help these symptoms?

Wanted to say hi, haven't posted in awhile. Original dx was AS. Neuro symtoms have gotten much worse and joint pain is now gone. Starting to look less like AS, now looking at Lyme or MS. Anyone else in limboland between all the fun possibilities?
Asked by Gullyabb diagnosis neuropathy
Going to see GP again tomorrow. Starting to feel like I'm annoying her. The rheumy isn't returning her calls. GP made the initial dx of AS, but has offered nothing but NSAIDs and wait. Meanwhile, the tinnitus, and buzzing in feet and hands has gotten worse. Pain in joints is often horrid. I'm at my breaking point. Looking for suggestions as to how to be taken more seriously by GP. Not sure anymore if this is AS... Wondering about seeing a neurologists. Suggestions?
Asked by Gullyabb neuropathy doctors
I know I've been asking a million questions lately, but here is another one. Do any of you experience tingling in your extremeties? My left hand/fingers/elbow/palms are all tingling. I will say I am typing quite a bit tonight and so that may have something to do with it. I know it is not B12-deficient neuropathy b/c those levels are plenty high, so I am just curious if anyone else has this issue. Thanks!
Asked by Lenore neuropathy
Does anyone have sciatica or sciatic pain? I have bouts that are an aching pain, and episodes when the pain surges to the sole of my foot in a rush - like an electric shock. It knocks me off my feet or makes me jump out of my chair!
Asked by Stacey neuropathy symptoms ankylosing spondylitis
Anyone suffer from peripheral neuropathy (hands and feet) and AS? I have recently been diagnosed with AS and still trying to figure out the neurpoathy. My rhumey is not sure what is the cause but looking for it and thinks it is a separate issue.

What other diseases accompany AS? My doctor says that along with the spondylitis- I have fibromylagia, neuropathy and possibly edema- is this a result of the AS?
