In connection to what Kat said, my new rheumy told me on average it takes a women 8 years to get an AS diagnosis, partly because of the fact it is considered a mans disease. He was very impressed it only took me 2, but I figured if I keep on the doctors eventually someone will do something, I did get the run around though. The squeaky wheel does get the grease.
Just my two cents........I was diagnosed at 26, I am currently 31, MAN DO I EVER HATE SAYING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
