My name is Shelly. I am 47. I was diagnosed in 2010 but have been living with undiagnosed symptoms since 2000. I’ve been called crazy, a hypochondriac, just old lol. I have a wonderful rheumy and am thankful for my amazing family and friends!

Dear Shelly,
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

Hi Shelly !
Welcome to a most wonderful family of AS’ers from around the globe! Please know that you most certainly can “let it all out” here, and that you’re SAFE. There’s probably not one of us here that hasn’t been called crazy and/or a hypochondriac, literally. I truly believe the name of this disease should be “revised” to Crazy AS 🙂 perhaps then more ppl just may acknowledge it. (just trying to add a bit of sarcastic humor, as I can personally relate).
