A.S. Face 0490: Kate Garkut

I’m from Maitland, New South Wales, Australia……2 hours north of Sydney. I was diagnosed with AS, in October 2011. I am 48 but have had symptoms since my early twenties. For many years I thought I was going mad! Luckily, I have a very loving and supportive family, who have loved and encouraged me and always believed in me. Also, life has been kind, in that I had my daughters, young, and have (mostly) inadvertently followed a healthy lifestyle.
THANK YOU Cookie for all you have done and do…. The support and inspiration I have gained from ASAP, is immeasurable.
Stand Tall, my A.S. friends,
Kate xx
Australia

  1. Welcome to the group, Kate! My story is similar to yours in that I have had symptoms since my teens and was not diagnosed until the age of 49! I wish you all the best!
