A.S. Face 0387: Shane Lovelady
My name is Julie Lovelady. I am 43 years old and live in Mississippi. I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis about fourteen years ago. My fifteen year old son, Shane Lovelady, was diagnosed with arthritis when he was 7 or 8 years old. He is classified as having juvenile spondyloarthritis because of his age

Good to see you again Shane. I’m not going to worry about you. You know why? A good buddy of mine developed horrible Ruematoid Arthritis when we were in high school. Today, 35 years later, he’s a senior engineer with the Department of Transportation, married a 28 year old lady 3 years ago and has a 2 year girl. I’m not going to worry about you cause like my buddy, I know you’re going to GO TO COLLEGE and find a career where you don’t beat your body up. You’re going to “turn the tables” on AS and use it as a motivator to have the best life you can. And I don’t want your mother to worry cause we both know you’re going to use AS to GO TO COLLEGE and kick AS’s ASS!
Dear Shane,
Thank you for being a part of my vision. Stay strong!
Sincerely Cookie
