Has anyone had dizziness and vertigo and found out that they have Labyrinthitis. Does AS Cause this ?

Oddly, I have his often and severely. Is most unpleasant. My Rheumatologist was interested in the fact that I have it.

Does it belong to AS...................Unlikely, is just an infection in the lug!!

I have vestibular neuritis which has very similar symptoms. Rheumitologist thinks that remicade caused it....Were you ever on a TNF blocker?

I would be careful saying AS has nothing to do with it.

First of all there is a recent diagnosis being recogniced called inner ear auto-immune disease, wich will hit your balance organs. As most Auto-immune diseases seem to be linked, it's not unconceivable AS could be a kickstart for that.

Second, AS can migrate to jaw joints, and inflamed jaw joints can affect the ears.

I certainly have a lot of problems with both, although I am undiagnosed in the AS department still.

btw, symptoms for Auto-immune inner ear disease;

Feeling of fullness, irritation, vertigo, dizziness, tinnitus, "popping and cracking noises", amongst some. Sound familiar?

Very unpleasant. Sorry you have any of it, lets hope its just a virus!

Love
gilth
