Hello,
Firstly, I want to reassure you that HLA-B27 disease (also known as Ankylosing Spondylitis) is a chronic condition that can be managed with appropriate medical care and lifestyle modifications. It is not a terminal illness, and it is not correct for any doctor to tell you that you will soon die.
To manage your HLA-B27 disease, you should consult a rheumatologist. Rheumatologists are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and bones. They are the most qualified healthcare professionals to manage HLA-B27 disease.
In addition to consulting a rheumatologist, it may also be helpful to work with a physical therapist and a nutritionist. Physical therapy can help you maintain your flexibility, strength, and mobility, while a nutritionist can help you develop a healthy diet plan that supports your overall health and well-being.
I encourage you to seek a second opinion from a different rheumatologist if you feel your current treatment plan is not working. It is important to work with a doctor who is knowledgeable and experienced in treating HLA-B27 disease and who can work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your individual needs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
