As far as I know (and I've done extensive research in the field of Autoimmune diseases) it is an almost impossible endeavor to treat them together. An Autoimmune Disease is either treated with steroids or a special immune supressor, either way, the immune is suppressed and is less able to do its job. Unfourtunately, with Tuberculosis, you need your immune system to fight it off along with Antibiotics. Effectively making your immune system useless with an immune supressor or steroids, is going to put your life in danger with Tuberculosis.

Can ankylosing spondylitis cause you to have seizures?

Ankylosing Spondylitis is an Autoimmune Disease that concerns itself mostly with your spine and trying to fuse the bones there together. Seizures are caused by a misfiring in the brain, so as far as I know (and I've done exstensive research in the Autoimmune Disease area) no, it cannot. Seizures are not a symptom of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Some pain medications can cause seizures (like Tramadol) and many diseases affect the brain. (MS, Encephalitis, etc.) but I can pretty much assure you that Ankylosing Spondylitis does not.

What happens with ankylosing spondylitis over time?

During Ankylosing Spondylitis the immune system is attacking your joints and spine(sometimes just the spine) and what it makes the spine do is a thing called ankylosis where the bones fuse together. Basically, your spine is fusing together. It causes extreme pain as the fusing happens and flexibility in the spine is greatly reduced. Other symptoms can include pain in the joints and in the back and other muscles. Plantar Faciitis (bottom of the foot pain) is also common with this disease. Some people get a hunchback because that is the possition those vertebrae in their spine fused in.


Why does ankylosing spondylitis cause postural changes?

Ankylosing spondylitis leads to postural changes primarily due to inflammation and stiffness in the spine and sacroiliac joints. Over time, chronic inflammation can result in the formation of new bone, causing vertebrae to fuse together, which restricts movement and flexibility. This fusion often leads to a forward stooped posture, as individuals may adopt compensatory positions to alleviate discomfort and maintain balance. Additionally, muscle imbalances and reduced mobility further contribute to these postural changes.
