I was surprised at the quick responses. I will try to answer all the questions in this post.

Cat:
My wife is on mat leave for another 9 months. When she goes back to work we will pursue Remicaid or Enbrel. When I have time I will sift through the Alternate Treatment section.

David:
I can't believe I didn't think of adding a snorkel. We were just on vacation and a 50' swim left me with a sore neck. I'm not a big swimmer but will keep it in mind the next time I hit a pool.
As for pain it is currently all in my back, chest & neck. No deep breaths and not much mobility. Hopefully stretching & exercise will help out.

Tim:
I'm hoping to reduce or change to less destructive meds. I don't ever expect to be on no meds although my Dad hasn't taken any for years and he has AS too.

Wayne:
I have never heard of Salazopyrin. As google shows me it is an anti-inflammatory the questions are: Is it an NSAID? How hard is it on your system? And is it recommended for AS? The info I read only mentions RA.

I have been through most of the tests but I don't think all of them. After a while you forget all the different blood tests.

Also, thanks for the reading material. Something for when it gets slow at work next week.
