You'd be better off without AS.

Nothing can stop the immune once it sets on its own body.

Inflamation is relentless at least in my case.

Constant inflamation slowly damages every part of your body not just the joints it also causes premature aging, heart disease often develops early on and many many other nasty conditions all associated with inflamation.

It's curious that recent studies suggest that patients taking anti-TNF have increased life expectancy compared to the normal population and much lower risk of heart disease meaning even in people who feel healthy there is a degree of inlamation that slowly damages the body without causing symptoms.
