A.S. Face 0095: Yiannis Siouras
My name is Yiannis Siouras. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. I am 36 years old and live in Greece, my whole life. At age 22, I was diagnosed with AS.
I have used Remicade and Humira. Currently, I am using Enbrel, with not a lot of relief. It is still difficult to move and I have depression.
These last years have been most painful throughout my spine.

Το όνομά μου είναι Γιάννης Siouras. Έχω αγκυλοποιητική σπονδυλίτιδα. Είμαι 36 ετών και ζουν στην Ελλάδα, ολόκληρη η ζωή μου. Στην ηλικία των 22, θα έχει διαγνωστεί με σύνδρομο Asperger.
Έχω χρησιμοποιήσει το Remicade και Humira. Σήμερα, είμαι χρησιμοποιώντας το Enbrel, δεν με μια μεγάλη ανακούφιση. Είναι ακόμη δύσκολο να κυκλοφορούν και να έχω κατάθλιψη.
Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχουν πιο επώδυνη σε όλη τη σπονδυλική στήλη μου.

I like your story, Yiannis. You are a strong person.
Thank you Guyla..Thank you Cookie….nice to sharing my story in this blog!
Yiannis, it is almost a year since you posted about your As story. I was browsing this site and found your story. i hope after a year you have found pain relief and a good medication combination to control the pain and slow down your disease. I received my diagnosis at 58 and lost my career as an registered Nurse. I have 4 grown children. Am on Remicade and has helped me alot and take my pain medicene, but not as much as I should.
I found this quote that you might like,
