What can Ankylosing Spondylitis in your spine cause some of your vertebrae to do?
Despite the amusing name, Ankylosing Spondylitis is a serious medical condition. It can can cause the vertebrae to become fused together, making the spine rigid.
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 are some bone eating diseases?
One bone eating disease is Lupus. Along with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Multiple sclerosis and Ankylosing spondylitis also are bone eating diseases.
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.
What is meant by little about pressure on your lungs from Ankylosing Spondylitis is the posture of your body pressing against your lungs and can it be dangerous I find myself coughing and chocking?
Ankylosing spondylitis can lead to a stooped posture, which may compress the lungs and restrict their capacity, resulting in difficulty breathing and potential coughing or choking. This compression can be dangerous as it reduces your ability to take deep breaths, increasing the risk of respiratory issues. If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and management. Proper posture and breathing exercises may help alleviate some of the pressure on your lungs.
What is ankylosing spondylitis?
Ankylsing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder. It is an arthritic condition generally affecting the spine although it may also affect large joints such as knees, jaw, ankles, and shoulders. As can also attack the rib cage, limiting chest expansion and inhibiting breathing. It ususally affects males 17 to 22 years of age. It is also found among the female population. AS is mostly found among the population with B+ blood and a gene called hlaB27. This is found by taking a blood sample. Diagnosis of AS is a process of eliminating other conditions that are similar in appearance. AS is also called 'the great imitator' as the condition may resemble many conditions including cancer and multiple sclerosis. A patient may be diagnosed by taking x-rays and a simple blood test. AS can also attack internal organs around the spinal region of the body and can cause secondary conditions such as hammer toe and iritis. Over time, the spine or other joints may fuse together causing what is known as 'poker spine' and the person will not be able to bend over at all. The condition can become debilitating but not often fatal. The disorder can cause other autoimmune and chronic disorders that may lead to fatalities due to kidney disease or swollen heart. Some patients have been known to die from medications used to treat the illness. The presence of hlaB27 does not mean the person will develope AS but the gene is found in over 97% of sufferers with AS. People with AS should keep x-rays to a minimum as this has been shown to be contradictory in some people and may cause leukemia.

How do you cure spondlytice?
Spondylitis, particularly ankylosing spondylitis, is a chronic inflammatory condition that currently has no cure. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through a combination of medication (such as anti-inflammatory drugs), physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise and maintaining good posture. In some cases, biologic medications may be prescribed to target specific inflammatory pathways. It's essential to work closely with a healthcare provider for personalized management strategies.
