A.S. Face 0219: Geoff Hancock


My name is Geoff and well look at my pictures AS grabbed me.
I was 19 when I burst disks spondylitis l5s1 The AS was not diagnosed for nearly 8+ years later.
I was told all the wrong things and being high and in so much pain i said little.
Bit like when they said it will cost the NHS 57k to fix you but we think we will just look at pills. I have had to fight at time’s for god sake.
It drags you down, the loss of your body when It happens so quick.
I started low then pills stronger till fentanl patches then i got to over 1000mg of oxy Contin thrown at me a day that was changed to same amount of MST morphine with oxy norm changed to oramorph when I broke My back
By falling over from standing but have cut down as the pills 120mg a day mst are hit and miss on 40mg 3 time a day plus oramorph and other bits allergic to anti-inflammatory drugs which really sucks.
I have had anti tnf but to be honest I had given up quite a bit till I meet a lovey person and there is some light at the end of that tunnel..
I was not given the right choices when you can only leave in an ambulance your home becomes a prison just walls I don’t like curtains open people stare in at me.
Please all live life why you can every day is so so precious and if my life keeping going all.
