I am a newly diagnosed patient with Spondylosis. My condition is very advanced, considering I'm just 33 years old. I have a plethora of non pain related symptoms all day everyday in Conjunction with my pain and limited mobility. Is this considered an autoimmune disease too?
I know AS is auto-immune as i have had it since I was 20. Spondylosis is not auto-immune.

100 mg twice a day

My cervical spine is fused from AS (except C1 and C2). I have daily headaches, sometimes severe. I can always tell when the Tylenol wears off as the headache comes back. Are these headaches the result of a fused C spine?

My doc tried to get me in a drug trial but the mri didn’t show inflammation and hla b27 was negative so I don’t qualify. Now I’m stressed that this info will make him rethink my diagnosis. I was happy(sort of) to finally having an answer to why I’m in so much pain all the time and get on track to feeling better(sort of). His diagnosis was based on deteriorating of the si joints caught on an X-ray.
I am negative also. My doc said it doesn’t matter that much. I have AS in my neck and si joints/ lower back. All my blood work was also normal. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia and now I was… read more
The second one comes from age disease, the first one comes from systemic and genetic disease. I'm not sure but I think you might be lucky to have the one that is age related.
