212man. Get off my back.
I did read actually read the report, such that it is. I have discussed it with some doctors. They are all sceptical that someone deemed fit to fly would have neck movement limited to that extent. And my point still remains that I have a suspicion that full harnesses and reclined seating position was more limiting than the AS.
Anyway, this thread is to support a guy newly diagnosed with AS. We have the drugs available now that should prevent a newly diagnosed AS sufferer to ever have fused cervical vertebrae.
