My Story

Sunday 29th Sep I have suffered with random pains all over for several years and after going to the doctors numerous times and having several blood tests and xrays all tests showed up clear so 3 years later I was finally referred to a Rheumatologist that read through the notes and diagnosed me with AS straight away but needed to do a special blood test to see if it confirmed I had the gene. I tested positive for the gene. Not many people have heard of ankylosing spondylitis  but it's a very difficult disease to live with on so many levels....it's life long and there's no cure, medication is hard to find until you find the right 1 that suits you and then it won't suit you for very long until you have to try another alternative  Share
