[quote=Anonymous]you are all idiots. My Dh and DS have it. You have to have a gene test to determine. "A blood test to check for the HLA-B27 gene, which is present in most people with the disease. You may have the HLA-B27 gene and never develop ankylosing spondylitis, but it can give doctors more information when making a diagnosis" This is a very serious diagnosis, BTW. Doctors don't want to give it. Mostt rhuematologists don't handle it. There are only two in D.C. who are experts in it. The best guy just retired this year.[/quote]
