I was interested to see someone mention ear pain. I've been having problems with my ears since May - not pain just poping feeling. Whenever I swallow or open my mouth wide I get a pop in my ear (near the jaw joint). It's not very painful just annoying. For you scuba divers it is like I am constantly equalizing the pressure in my ears(a hundred or more times a day!)! My rheumy seems to think my jaw joint is OK - so next step is an ear nose & throat doctor. Unfortunately my appointment isn't until December. I'll let you know what comes of it. But like all of you - I wasn't sure if it was related to the AS or something completely different. So it is interesting to see the topic come up. I'll follow this thread with interest.
