My name is Sofia, I have Autoimmune disease Ankylosing Spondylitis. My blood test result for HLA-b27 : Negative.
My Rheumatology give me My fortic 180 mg to take daily only once in a day.
The side effect of My fortic are : my blood pressure unstable, headache, stomach ache n diarrhea.
Since the result was Negative, I did blood test once again for HLA- b27 to make sure about my AS.
Do I have to keep taking My fortic onve in a day since my cervical bone still very painful and stiffness.
Would you mind to help me answering my question Dr Collen Young.

Hi Sofia @sofiaindayani -- I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @colleenyoung. None of us here on Connect can offer medical advice on whether you should keep taking your medications prescribed by your rheumatologist. You really need to discuss this with your doctor or rheumatologist as Colleen mentioned in her post here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/626195/
