Hi Jenny
is that an 'as well' diagnosis or an 'instead'??
The mtx was helping wasn't it?
There are people on her with AS - you might need to do another thread about it if you get little response to thie thread titled ANk Spond
How is he with the possible change in diagnosis?
aand you? Must be a shock.
Love

Wise words from frog there, I thought he's had a bath! Right: I know nothing about AS, but the tone of your post suggested to me that it's an 'instead of' diagnosis, which must come as a shock. Don't interweb too much about it - soooooo much info about illnesses is sooooo inaccurate and therefore frightening: I think frog is right, do another post with AS in the title, then hopefully those with it will spot it and help with info etc. I have been on injected meth for ages now, and have had very, very little trouble with it side-effects wise. I wish Jordan well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Hi Jordansmum Sorry I cant help with any advise, I just want to send you my support, and I do hope that they get things sorted very soon, then his medication can start working for him.

Hi Jenny lets hope the revised diagnosis and treatment ideas make a big difference to Jordan.
