I've had the usual "normal" lung problems from time to time, pleurisy (once, hopefully never again), And a bout with pneumonia but then again Rick had it too - - in fact I think he gave it to me! We spent a lovely week in bed playing who is sicker and thus who gets to go warm up the chicken noodle soup I have had lung congestion due to meds, though, MTX and sulfasalazine in particular, it went away when the meds were stopped, so that's not really AS related, just AS -meds related. There is a side effect of MTX called lung lesion which is very dangerous, which is why I was taken off the MTX when the congestion happened. I do have a mysterious spot on my lung, found during an MRI, but since I lived in Japan for five years it could be from fighting off TB - - TB was pretty common when I lived in Japan but being a healthy kid I was probably exposed but never came down with it.
