Thank You Doctor Canlas

I got this today from my Google alert for AS stories, about a 19-year old kid in the U.S. with the condition. According to the article, his symptoms were back and feet pain and swelling in legs and knees. My swelling was in my ankles. He went through PT and ``six months of doctor visits and tests'' before his doctor recommended he see a rheumatologist. TEN blood tests later, AS was identified.

Man, Doctor Canlas is good! He's not a rheumatologist but suspected AS and ordered the right blood test.
