Hi, I have some of the same things. I have chrones which took years to find out that I had that. All I can tell you is be your own advocate. Don't let the doctors run all over you. Learn all that you can about spondylitis and treatment's that are available. I'm happy to see that you have come to this site we are all here for you.

I have ulcerative colitis

GI disease is linked to AS.

Thanks to those who sent hugs. I've been sick with an upper respiratory infection. I'm feeling better now, and I can breathe without it hurting. I seem to catch everything. Dose anyone have this issue too?
