Hi Colin,
I was wondering how you got on with your test. Keep in mind that just because it came back negative does not mean you don't have AS. I have AS despite not having the HLA gene. (If anyone out there knows how I got AS that would be helpful :-) )
Is it possible to get a second opinion? The whole rheumy world seems odd to me - over 10 yrs ago I was told I had Fibromyalgia by one and now the drs say that the rheumy must have had it wrong. (Though I have read that fibro can be diagnosed prior to AS, especially in women).
What other tests did they do? Xrays etc?
I know limbo is not a fun place to be. Hang in there and keep doing what works best for you - exercises, diet etc. You know your body best so listen to it :-)
