yes it's 3 of 4 now that confirm A.S. One of them being a rheumy at university of michigan named Dr. Holoshitz (that is a real name not tring to be funny). Yes it is agrivating and yes i take the most recent rheumy diagnosis with a grain of salt. she made this diagnosis based on 2 10 min visits and x-rays. She is a long way from being able to make a well informed decision in my eye's. The one thing that is making me keep my sanity about this is all the flare ups i've had over the years. They don't lie. So we will see where this goes. Thank you all for your support.
