If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Nuclear scintagraphy - nuclear bone scan. Is soon out of yr system. The nurse injected me into my foot (tried to) and made a right pigs ear of it. Then a doctor arrived on the scene and got the vein in my foot in one go ! Bone scan is quick and really does showe up the inflammation whereas the MRI is slooooow and have to be fed into that MRI tube (horrible - trying to lie flat, uuuugggg) IF have an MRI ensure that a coronal STIR Sagittal tau-1, tau-2 fat supression is ordered up. A straight MRI will show nowt, waste of time ! (Over here in France the bigger hospitals always use the full works MRI for all spondys, but not so in the UK).

this AS is one hellava disease.....
Deena,my wife,says I am too hard on myself and do too much. I believe the key is finding a happy medium between not enough exercise and too much, it's so easy to step over the line...I wish I could learn to accept my condition and appreciate the things I CAN do rather than focus and despair on the things I can't do. Oh well.
just trying to come to terms with things folks
thanks
John
Hmmm.....just change the names in the scenario and that could well be many of us, John! Some of us are very SLOW LEARNERS, it seems.  and are our own worst enemies... (I speak from EXTENSIVE personal experience here!  ) I am trying to learn to accept my situation, but remind myself that I don't do it willingly and it doesn't mean that I like it. Definitely "a work in progress" so far, but making baby steps.  thanks Louise...my nephew and his wife moved to Melbourne a coupla years ago and they now have a coupla ozzy boys
