In reply to:
Surely it becomes questionable, perhaps even inappropriate, to use Ebringer's studies to make general comments about present AS sufferers as has been done throughout this discussion.
No, no, no Wally; on these discussion forums we get all the subjective guff, but if we are going to learn owt we must value science which makes headway. It is true the IgA-Kp test is not standard path lab for AS, but this kind of science works by studying samples. You are unnecessarily confusing things; for instance, Jayne, on the main forum, recentley reported that the diet, then humira, didn't seem to help. Then a whole body scan revealed no AS inflammation, her pain appears to be the legacy of all the mechanical damage. Isn't this explanation so much simpler? To say Jayne is in a seperate sub group is true but trite.
