Akylosing spondylitis
Hi guys
I'm Susie & after 25 years of suffering & complaining to GPs & specialists I have finally been diagnosed with AS which showed on an MRI that I have now fused in several places 😔
My dad has suffered with AS for years & now it looks like both my brothers have it also.
Im awaiting biological therapy treatment & am praying it works as I live with the pain constantly & just want an escape from it & some kind of a normal life back again. Anybody else living with AS & how's your pain & what treatments are you on to manage yours?
Thanks 😊

Hello @Susie1976
As much as the diagnosis isn't nice, you must be relieved that they have finally made a diagnosis and you can get the treatment you deserve for it?
Are you Dad and Brothers receiving any treatment for theirs?
I have attached information regarding Ankylosing Spondylitis.
I was speaking to someone last week who was asking about the same condition. You are more than welcome to contact her.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Take Care and Stay Safe
