Hi everyone. Sorry I've not been in touch for so long. Things been up and down here. Humira not working as well as it once was (had to have a break due to a groin abcess and it never worked as well again afterwards). Managing to work pt, but still plagued by fatigue which I guess is partially depression linked. Iritis still chronic, but fairly low key thanks to the efforts of Prof Ayliff (but still likely to get cataracts before I'm 50).

But what I want to ask is this. Firstly, I suffer from a lot of bowel problems, frequent bouts of acute diahorea and persistant loose stools. I've recently been checked out for IBD, and indeeed have a close relative with UC, but I'm negative. Is this still related to AS or something different? And before anyone says anything about the low startch diet, tried it to no effect. Not surprised really, as I'm HLA-B27 neg, at the success of this seems to depend on you being HLA-B27 positive.
Currently, I'm also plagued with hand and wrist pains and stiffness. What have people found works best for this?

Best wishes to everyone on Kickas xx
