Thank you for your comment. I don’t have any of the usual symptoms associated with AS and I’m sure they’ll have tested for it all anyway. I hope it doesnt cause you too much bother now.

Your story sounds very familiar and you have my sympathies. It took me about 12 years to get a diagnosis for my various problems involving joint and back pain, chronic fatigue and uveitis – turned out to be ankylosing spondylitis which I’m now on anti-tnf treatment for, which isn’t a miracle cure, but has made a massive difference to the quality of my life. A lot of your symptoms could be related to A.S. or one of the other conditions related to it (Crohn’s, Colitis, psoriatic arthritis). You’ve poss been down this road, but have you been checked for HLA-B27? (genetic marker associated with these conditions). A.S. is often not considered in women as many Doctors mistakenly believe that it’s a disease limited to young men (and I think a lot of Docs automatically assume women are being hysterical/hypochondriacs and think we are overplaying our symptoms and that perhaps some anti-depressants might sort us out). There’s a very helpful organisation, http://www.nass.co.UK which has lots of info about AS and all related conditions, and advice. As I say, you’ve poss been down this road already, but your experience and symptoms sound so familiar, that I thought I should get in touch and mention. Huge crossed fingers for a diagnosis and decent treatment.

Fantastic! So eloquently put. How dare he, it was nothing short of bullying. He is not fit to shine the shoes of Dennis Skinner.

Spot on Grumpyhat lady and Chums! I particularly like the line about his expensive education not being fit for purpose.
I join you in terminating his employment.

I love you, Grumpy Hat Lady and Chums.
You have eloquently put into words exactly what I want to say to the arrogant,insulting excuse for a man we call the Prime Minister.
Thank you.
