When you say autoimmune attacking your spine, is it ankylosing spondylitis?

It is pretty hard to suggest if you dont have dry eyes or dry mouth,nose, joint issues. Although RA or ra-like diseases, and sfn can cause these symptoms as well.
Hi all, thank-you for all your helpful info. Elaine, that's great. I'm going to look on there. It would be helpful to compare notes with other Sjorgens people.
Neuro problem, yes I have ankylosing spondylitis and it is out of control at the moment. I know this must be controlled as is likely the fire fuelling the sfn. I have a real predicament with treatment options for the A.S. Long story. :-(
