I know recently doctors have found multiple genetic mutations that can cause Spondylitis. They currently don't have these other genetic tests available to the public due to costs. But perhaps you need to try a rheumatologist. I have the same type of symptoms (as well as an underlying autoimmue disease of the eye that is commomly connected with Spondylitis) and although I was HBLA27 negative I was able to get help using Humira. I see a big difference in my ability to function. So don't give up. I also know Humira has assistance plans to help people who cannot afford the meds. Hope you find help!
