Story about Ankylosing Spondylitis .

AS Survivor

Feb 28, 2016

By: Nadia


Diagnosed in 2003, after having my daughter in 2002. The diagnosis process took sometime to do the differential. 

Had much trouble with medications. Allergies in all antiTNF drugs. Last one almost "killed" me. 

On and off from painkillers, trying to exercise and keep my spirits up. 

People say that because I am a psychologist I should be able to deal with all of this easily. Well this is actually NOT true. Get all the support you need, without hesitating or thinking twice. We need support, we need friends that understand and respect our everyday difficulties. 

Blessed to have such people in my life.
