OK, I'm in a brain fog today and can't read that at all. Too many big words, and like Brad I know what the words mean, but not how they are strung together!
I'd just like to say that my rhuemy kicks butt!! After a year of being diagnosed with fibro I told him when my fibro feels fine my lower back still really hurts. He looked me over sent me for an x-ray and then for an MRI and blood work. Even though the blood work came back neg and my sed rate is low he still diagnosed me with AS. Mostly spond, but he thinks it's AS. He said the MRI results are looking very much like AS, but it's one piece of a 7 piece puzzle. But since I'm a lady he thinks it's just different for me!! I was so happy he thinks this way! He said many women have lower sed rates, neg blood work and have problems in other areas like my knees and hips and shoulders that give me problems.
If this article is talking about how women are ignored because we're women and that we need to get better about it, I think more drs need to talk to mine!
