Thanks. And yes dry eyes and digestive issues. Though I am unsure about the benefit of mentioning the digestive stuff since IBS + fibro would be classic in their minds.
I also had a dx of reactive arthritis in 1996 soon after my SI symptoms started (I thought the SI stuff was due to pregnancy so never saw the doc about it). I had a livid rash all over my legs and then flared up with painful swollen joints, especially my hands. That got better after a few weeks but still could have been some kind of initial flare of inflammatory arthritis I would think.
I don't have standard typical AS symptoms so maybe it is undiff and the gene test would come back neg. Diagnosis is frustrating- it's like with gluten, if you don't have classic advanced celiac you get told you're fine.
But I also very much don't have standard fibro symptoms either. I don't have muscle issues at all except when my neck and shoulders are very bad, the muscles there tend to tighten up. But that's all.
