Thanks for all of the great responses everyone! You AS kickers are great!
When I started this post I didn't expect to see so many same nationalities. There seem to be a lot of Irish, and Irish-Scottish descendants here. I'm surprised by the numbers I'm seeing. Well, this post was all for fun, because I don't really know my own roots.
Take Care and thanks!
James.
HLA-B27+, JRA diagnosis in 1981, re-diagnosed as AS in 1988. Also iritis, colitis, and psoriasis. NSD + low carb helps me. My health makes it hard for me to post in a timely way.

Are psoriasis and eczema auto-immune based? Dad had psoriasis (and diabetes) and I have eczema, as does one of my nieces. Gee, there's an awful lot of Irish descent here. Kind of puts 'the luck of the Irish' in a whole new light!  Many hugs,
Kat

Q1 - English, Scotch-Irish, Dutch, French
Q2 - I had extremely bad symptoms. Now they are slight to moderate - but I have not regained range of motion in my neck fully - yet some has come back.
Q3. Nobody in my family has has an auto-immune disease, but I don't see my cousins often and my father died at the age of 49, in an accident. He was very healthy.
I feel that my symptoms were largely self induced trough a cobmination of bad diet and lifestyle. I am B27 negative according to the one test I took. I now stay away from excessive amounts of cheese, meat and eggs and try to eat a plant based diet mainly - fresh fruits and vegetables. And of course, I was also helped by magnesium citrate, and time off from work to exercise and rest.
