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.
I find they don’t like to put it down even. I recently saw a rheumatologist who I think is good, he just doesn’t stay in the room more 6-7min. He got up to leave and I said so what do I have? He said… read more

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
What symptoms do you have in your right eye?
Is there a viable option other than opioid therapy for those of us living with advanced ankylosing spondylitis? If there is I have not found it.
Derrick4 "Is there a viable option other than opioid therapy": OTC products, anti inflammatories (not great on the stomach), biologicals (TNF, IL-17 and JAK inhibitors (all have risks and downsides)… read more
