Hi, I'm new to the site and AS. My family Dr. told me a month ago that I tested positve for HLAB-27 and because of that along with my history, he sent me to a rheumatologist. I've seen the rheumy once and go back Feb 22nd. He's already talking about putting me on Remicade. I'm a little nervous about it, but right now I'm on voltaren and it's killing my stomach. Also, since the first of Dec. I have a sharp pain when I sneeze. Does that go away? How about this thing with your eyes. What does Iritis look like? Three times in the last year Ive had trouble with my eye looking like it is bleeding or bloodshot. It also becomes sensitive to sunlight sometimes and irritated. What should I expect? AT least I know now why it feels like I'm falling apart sometimes.
