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?

Very interesting story about the discovery of additional genes that are related to AS, which might lead someday to a more effective treatment: bit.ly/nGt94U Thoughts?

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?

Anyone have inflammation in the cricoarytenoid joint? Not well known that it can be affected with AS, but it can. I have it. I was (and am) having serious vocal issues. That is what sent me to the doctor. Saw an ENT and found out that the cricoarytenoid joint in my neck is inflamed. Diagnosed with Spond. In '97. If you have experienced this, what did you do? I am already on Humira.

Asked by Becky treatment
My doc has given me naproxen and I've been taking it 2ice a day. I forgot to take it last night and was fine this morning. Do you think it's possible to take 1 or stop altogether? Or is the damage still being done even if you aren't having a flare up
