I don't believe in taking any of the meds commonly prescribed by doctors. I'm a believer in the diet after watching my son go through months of excruciating paint and then after being on the diet only 4 days he was able to hop out of bed, return to work, pick up his kids again. It opened my eyes.
As a side note, my uncle suffered with AS for years and chose to take all the immunosuppressants and anti inflammatory drugs including NSAIDs. He died of cancer and since no one else in our family has had cancer I have to wonder if it was the drugs.

4 days! That's amazing! And so great that he's been able to get back to his normal life. You must all feel so relieved. I remember starting NSD as a hail mary, feeling like I had nothing to lose....what a revelation when it worked (I had not been diagnosed and my symptoms were not clearly AS, so I was skeptical).
Agree completely agree on meds. It's a shame they are the only thing that modern rheumatology has to offer. DMARDS have been linked to cancer, yet methotrexate is a key treatment.
