diagnosed today

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much for all of your responses.

The last report from the Rheumy said " HLA 27 negative with edema, but

no erosions seen on MRI of SI Joins, improved markedly with low dose

steroid (until I began to be disconnected-that's another story). I

would hate to diagnose her with AS and hope this is transient and we

have broken the cycle of pin. I recommend she cut predsnione by 1 mg

every 3 to 7 days as tolerated.If weaning causes sever pain, she is to

go back up on the pred and read about methotrexate and sulfasalazine. "

So, as of today, she went to do a pressure test. I layed on the

table and she pushed both of my hip bones, and I about FLEW OFF OF

THE TABLE in pain!! WOWZERS! Both of my legs and arms went flailing

up, I had no idea that was going to happen. She said that's was proof.

I " m 32 and in Michigan. Someone had asked that in another post. She

gave me a script for Plaquinen (sp) 200 mg twice a day. I told hubby

that I have buttitis. ahhhhh haaaaaa!!
