If anyone else with AS is HLA-B27 positive and suffer with chronic Iritis, can you please advise what success you have had with immuno suppressant therapy, or any other treatments?
Asked by T treatment
I was diagnosed with AS about two years back. I can't swallow pills, and don't have a rhuemy to diagnose anything else for treatment right now. Currently I've been using liquid Tylonel, heating pads, IcyHot, and chocolate to control the pain, but it doesn't always work. Any other treatments you can recommend?

Well, this is a new one. An infrared 'sauna' for patients with RA and AS, et al: www.koreaittimes.com/story/19241/infrared-treatment-detoxify Think it's bad science or possible new treatment option?

After 15 + years of intermittent symptoms, was finally diagnosed yesterday. It seems treatment is going to make me go broke. Insurance won't cover until a deductible is met. How do you handle the ongoing cost of care?

Is Spinal decompression effective for treating AS? Has anyone tried those machines?
Asked by Jesus22 treatment
I know you have been wondering so I met with the Head Neck Surgeon and she said she cannot feel the lymph node enough because it's too deep I need go to to Interventional Radiology. It is a same day procedure I will be there 5 hours for prep, the biopsy of my lymph node, recovery...they have to inject pain meds into me and all of that. I didn't wait for them to call me so I called them today and as of now I'm scheduled for Monday. Needless to say the freaking out has begun?
