Is anyone living in Northumberland/ Newcastle upon Tyne that wants to meet???
hi
This is a second attempt at seeing if anyone has AS that could meet up or be an online friend.
Hi everyone
I am Jan, I have Anykylosing spondylitis,I got diagnosed last year, I am 64.
my husband is my carer.
i live in Northumberland and love talking photos when I can get out.
i did have other hobbies but not able to do them.
i am friendly, outgoing, sense of humour, well you have to with this condition.
i lost friends when i got diagnosed with this condition as people who don’t have it are not understanding but if you fancy a chat, coffee, and enjoy photography, short walks, nature.
please get in touch.
thank you

I probably replied to your last message anyway knowing me.
Sadly I'm in the Midlands so far too far away I have however over the years met a few people from the forum and just wanted to say it can work, but we made sure we passed on any private details over personal message.
Best of Luck finding a walking/coffee person

Hi @Natash ,
Maybe you could start chatting online - Val’s Cafe is a friendly place to start - and as you get to know people you might find more things in common with someone and then you both might like to meet up. It can be a bit daunting meeting up with people you don’t really know yet.
As well as the local groups page that @Ellen suggested above, you also could look at the National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society website. ( link below) It’s got a local groups page and it also holds a monthly online meet-up where you can get to know others.
Best wishes, and do have a look round the forum and join in any conversations where you feel comfortable.
