Thanks for your tips and help.

Hi John,

Great to hear that you have settled down a bit...

I don't think the sore back and legs whilst eating wheat *gave* you AS - it was a sign that you already had it and were feeding the monster! eek

I think I recall discussions here before about men wanting to start a family - I believe you can go dafely onto Salofalk instead of Sulfasalazine... maybe want to google it or ask in the Men's Forum, or ask your rheumy???

Good luck with becoming a dad - my kids have brought me many joys! smile
