Q1 - English, Scotch-Irish, Dutch, French
Q2 - I had extremely bad symptoms. Now they are slight to moderate - but I have not regained range of motion in my neck fully - yet some has come back.
Q3. Nobody in my family has has an auto-immune disease, but I don't see my cousins often and my father died at the age of 49, in an accident. He was very healthy.
I feel that my symptoms were largely self induced trough a cobmination of bad diet and lifestyle. I am B27 negative according to the one test I took. I now stay away from excessive amounts of cheese, meat and eggs and try to eat a plant based diet mainly - fresh fruits and vegetables. And of course, I was also helped by magnesium citrate, and time off from work to exercise and rest.
