yes, good to have a dx in that you can now have access to drugs that might help you.

they are really strict down there regarding the criteria for using the biologics!

here if a doctor determines that you have inflammatory arthritis and have tried a few nsaids then that is enough to be approved. which is good for me, as there are few tests that can detect undiff spondy, especially in between flares.

so excited for you! hope the biologics have you saying "they gave me my life back!" smile
