Positive. Yet the 1st Rheumatologist told me I didn't have AxS, so I went to another one. She was incredulous that he'd said that to me! My x-rays were also positive. I was also diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, I wasn't diagnosed until I was 58, so there is extensive damage to my joints. My spine, in particular, is horrible. Top to bottom. I should have been diagnosed, at the latest, at 42 when I needed dual knee replacements! Now at 62, I'm working on scheduling a hip replacement and my knees need to be redone. My left hand has 2 fingers with severely swollen and sore joints. But, I get up every day and just keep going. What alternative is there? Worry less; pray more!
