kat,

actually what the paper said was that iff someone responded well to the NSAIDS then it could be spondyloarthropathy and would rule out fibro, that since fibro is not an inflammatory disease, it wouldn't respond to the NSAIDS, but spondyloarthropathy might. not the other way around. sorry if i didn't make that clear in what i wrote.
