Hello

I have just turned 40, have a 18 month year old toddler and last week diagnosed with ankeylosing spondylitis. It is still sinking in feel a little overwhelmed with the ramifications of an auto immune disease..... what even are the ramifications? I guess the chronic nature of it is a bit frightening. I will be starting hydroxychoroquine so if anyone had advice, knowledge or just wants to respond would be great to hear from you as it can feel a lot to take in!

Thanks in advance for reading
