Is Anyone Hla Negative And Still Diagnosed As?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Looking for some support. A brief history. I started experiencing inflammatory issues mainly in my neck around the age of 23. Took some time but we found out my father had the HLAB27 gene so was finally able to be referred to a rheumatologist around age 25 where I was diagnosed with AS. And I also have the gene. I’ve undergone many different treatments and therapies to help slow progression with Humira being the one to help the most. About a year and a half ago I began having very red eyes… read more
