	Anylosing Spondylitis Diagnosis
		A rheumatologist is commonly the type of physician that will diagnose ankylosing spondylitis, since they are doctors who are specially trained in diagnosing and treating disorders that affect the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, and bones.
		Using conventional x-rays to detect this involvement can be problematic because it can take 7 to 10 years of disease progression for the changes in the SI joints to be serious enough to show up in conventional x-rays.
		Another option is to use MRI to check for SI involvement, but currently there is no validated method for interpreting the results in regards to an AS diagnosis.

	Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Tourette Syndrome
		It should be emphasized that a diagnosis of TS does not require that coprolalia is present.
		Before receiving the diagnosis, the patient and/or family may have thought he or she "was going crazy." The patient may have become extremely distressed byhis or her own experiences and by the often negative responses evoked.
		Thus, unless there is some doubt about the diagnosis or some complicating neurological factors, an EEG and a computed tomography are not necessary parts of the clinical evaluation.

		Making the diagnosis of MS as quickly and accurately as possible is important for several reasons: People who are living with frightening and uncomfortable symptoms want and need to know the reason for their discomfort.

	LUPUS FOUNDATION OF AMERICA
		Because many lupus symptoms mimic other illnesses, are sometimes vague and may come and go, lupus can be difficult to diagnose.
		Diagnosis is usually made by a careful review of a person's entire medical history coupled with an analysis of the results obtained in routine laboratory tests and some specialized tests related to immune status.
		To assist the physician in the diagnosis of lupus, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 1982 issued a list of 11 symptoms or signs that help distinguish lupus from other diseases.
