Are you HLA-B27 positive or negative?

I think its important to highlight that not everyone with AS is HLA-B27 positive. Let me know if you are positive or negative!

  1. Negative HLA-B27


    1. Hi Rebecca,
      Yes, diagnosed with severe DDD, inflammatory arthritis and spondylosis. The spondylosis was confirmed by MRI. It is present through out but worse in the cervical and lumbar regions. I have been experiencing new problems with painful laxity in my shoulders, wrists, hips and knees. It presents like enthisitis. Also new, pain in my feet, especially lateral bone pain. I have added red light therapy to my care plan, it can't hurt.
