I was dianosed first with Fibromyalgia mainly because the x-rays didnt show anything I now have tow curves in my back as of two years ago.. so now they are saying AS and reiters. I knew that all along but had to wait. I have been on anibiotics for a little over three months, got real sick but have been doing better since last week. I am also taking a muscle relaxer and Klopin, plus tagament for my reflux I have some other stuff too... My upper back is locked in place. The lower back has OA in it. The doc treating me has never used the antibiodics but because of my stomach problems I can not take any of the arthritis meds so she said it can't hurt anything so lets try it!!!!! I was so happy finally after six years some hope. I have been so bad at times that I could not even get out of bed. My husband has been taking care of me the last five months if not for him I don't know what I would have done. I do get dizzy and fall often and not real sure why. Though I haven't had that problem for about a month now which is unusual for me. I take 200 mg of Dox Mon/Wed/Fri most of the time I try to take it like that. Sometimes my stomach is really bad and I have to switch days, it does not always sit well with me. I have found that I am going through most of the same thing that you read from others here which has been a major help for me!! We are not alone!!!!!! Hope I have helped in some way if you want to talk more I would be happy too. You can email me if you like at tifkas@...

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 That's pretty much right although the " DI " should be pronounced DEE not " die " . Make sense? We call it " Spondy " for short. -- Dodge Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and wrong, because sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
