I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis over a year ago and for insurance reason had to switch rheumatologists. I had my first visit prior to my records arriving. The new doctor said without having reviewed my past records and based on my symptoms that I have fibromyalgia. I’ve researched that disease and it seems as though I have both, which would account for a few inconsistancies. It has been shown through an MRI that I have inflammation in my hips , and by way of my other symptoms, I believe that my first diagnosis was correct. What I am wondering is how likely it is to have both? I know that it is not uncommon for people with anlylosing spondylitis to also have ulcerative colitis….
