Tania Katsanie ΤΑΝΙΑ ΚΑΤΣΑΝΗ
My name is Tania Katsani, I am 35 years old, suffering from AS since my early 20s, diagnosed at 30. I try to stay positive even in the worst days. Being able to smile and helping others, plus searching and looking for every new development in our chronic disease is the key for me for a fulfilling life. Sometimes I feel desperate when I realize that my life seems to be a perpetual trip from a doctor to another, from a medicine to another. It’s very difficult to realize how unrealistic is a trip or a visit to a museum due to reduced mobility. But I have also been blessed with meeting with wonderful people that help me and care about me uncontitionaly. I m learning my limits, I am learning how to fight- I keep fighting every day! That’s a thing, isn’t it?
