How To Get Diagnosed
The dr rolls dice and chooses something that sounds good. All based on whatever dr gave the term for it and their prior experience. A little consideration here, a little guesswork there. Afterall, have you ever looked up what "Ankylosing" means? Until its actually self fused it isnt actually ankylosing, it's "non-radiographic (aka nothing showing up on film). And when it's "sero-negative" it means there's nothing in the blood to prove it. So when i see "sero-negative non-radiographic" all i can think of is, why didn't the dr just say the patient is fine and needs to exercise more to strengthen their back? It's like they're putting the cart before the horse and the next thing you know the patient actually is sick because they reacted poorly to a non-diagnosis. Sorry, dont mind me, on a rant over yet another dr looking at me alarmed and suggesting i go immediately to get my face cut open to get to an artery today. I went to get a pedicure instead. I think most of us here would be better off without the drs most of the time. 😑
