Hello all and I CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH for all your support and information. I'm at work at the moment and only quickly perused the replies as times is limited!
I have to tell you, I sit here with tears in my eyes... maybe just because I finally have Someone who I can talk to, and who understands how frustrating this truly is.
I will come back this eve and do a proper response to all as it means so much to me that you all have taken time to respond.
My job is a physically demanding one.I cannot use a cane as I drive machinery and use a shovel and pitch fork, and cut and haul away tress for much of my living..lol Its darn tough now though!
MRI booked this wed.. Not sure what its looking at, but I'm also seeing my family doc BEFORE I go to the MRI, and from the little bit of info I've seen it takes a certain type of MRI to detect certain changes typical of AS? Not sure if I'm correct, but I would like to ensure that it will be a proper one that I'm having done so as not to waste time. It takes FOREVER here in Ontario anyhow just to get in to have an MRI done..Months in advance if you're lucky.
Oh, and quickly, I did tell my Rheumy in Newmarket Ontario about my hypermobile joints at one appt (of two) and was told that had nothing to do with anything!!? Yes I see online iformation that does in some way link or can link the two?
Well, hope your all doing well and taking care, and thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for all your support.
I'm so very thankful.
Tracy
