Hi, John. Thank you for your very informative reply!

What kind of wrong conditions make the AS accelerate? I am looking into the diet. Not sure how successful I will be with it. I do not eat a lot of meat or veggies. Eat fruits at times. Gosh, I have a bad diet. I live off of mostly hard candies and junk foods.

I have had frozen shoulder about 20 years ago. Maybe I was showing signs of AS way back then.
