I just keep remembering that WOMEN typically are SLOWER in radiological changes. And the last article I read said that Sacrolitis and spondylitis (inflammation of spine) ARE considered ankylosing spondylitis. The diagnosis has nothing to do with seeing changes on xray or not.
I'm sorry, but even if I have a slight sniffle and cough means i have a cold, even though it is not in it's full blown state yet. And pre-labor pains are still considered labor pains. Why can't pre-AS still be AS? no... these doctors say it's all in your head ... or it's something new & unusual that they don't know what it is.
C-mon.. if it quacks like a duck.... or peepes like a duckling...
