Best Treatment
Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2013 2:00 pm
Hello Mike.
Just found out that I might have Ankylosing Spondylitis along with Uveitis, I am HLA B27+. Dr. Foster advised me to take Cellcept for the Uveitis, but wasn't sure what the recommended treatment is for AS? My Rheumy just told me that Cellcept wasn't the best for AS, but she is trying that first to see how I do. She just saw the inflammation on my spinal x-rays and said it looks like AS, but wanted to study it more before moving forward with the treatment for the AS. I wanted to make sure that I address both issues and I remember you said not to use Enbrel. It's great to understand why I feel so awful all the time and am excited (a little nervous too) to try a new treatment to give me my life back. Any info would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jennifer
