    This should never have been let through peer review like this.
    All it shows is that if you have bad enough ankylosing spondylitis to justify Humira - i.e. you have constant pain, fatigue and inability to sleep comfortably - then if you also have postural tachycardia it may be improved if you get a dramatic improvement in all the Ank spond symptoms. Which would hardly be surprising.

    Ank spond isn't autoimmune so I don't see any reason why improvement in POTS makes it likely to be autoimmune either.

    And I have no idea how they decided which symptoms were part of 'POTS' when most of them would be explained by the AS.
