    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

    Toni xx

    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. DD

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

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.
