Hi Barbara:
Good for you - you've come to the right place. And you are definitely not alone in having a whole bunch of different diagnoses plopped on you before you land up with AS. At first, I was diagnosed with lupus and lived with that and all the tests (like a kidney biopsy - yuck!!) and drugs - I just got worse. After that, let's see...it was poly-arthritis, followed by undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis, and after a whole lots of years, AS.
So, just shows that you have to keep at it and eventually, someone'll get it right!! Glad that you're here...keep on posting!!
