A.S. Face 0511: Liza M.B.
Hello my name is Liza,
I am 28 years old, I am from Montreal, Canada.
I was interested in being included in the faces of A.S.
I suffered many years of pain, saw many doctors and nobody could ever find out what was wrong with me. I finally got diagnosed in February 2012 with Ankylosing Spondylitis and Fybromialgia. I always try to raise awareness with these ‘invisible illnesses’ and being part of the faces would be a fantastic way of feeling like i belong somewhere.
I have an encouraging quote to put along with my picture, which describes me very well : ‘’I always do my best, no more, no less!’’ I rely on that quote alot because alot of people don’t understand A.S and they think i am a lazy person, or that i get discouraged fast, when in fact i do what i can without overdoing it!
So thank you for creating such a wonderful ‘world’ where we can all feel accepted.

Perfect quote. Thank you
Nine simple words that say it all! Love it!
I am also 29 and have yet to be “diagnosed” eventho many doctors have danced around the subject. Life long pain plus Hasimoto’s Thyroiditis make living life difficult, but I do what I can and encourage everyone living with this to do the same.
Oh you belong somewhere Liza. You belong here with us.
welcome liza lovely quote facebook has a group called living with ankylosing spondylitis if you need extra support
Welcome, Liza! Glad you are with us! I also hate it when people think I am lazy, like when I say, “I can’t do any more. I have to sit down.” They just look at me kinda funny. You won’t get that here–we only expect your best, no more, no less!! LOL
