A.S. Face 1967: Teri-lee Milligan

Face 1967

My name is Teri-lee Milligan. I’m am 29 years old. I was diagnosed with AS in October 2016 but had symptoms for at least 17 years. Increasingly getting worse and worse every year. I am a registered nurse and had to leave my job in July 2017. This was devastating as you can imagine, AS has a lot to answer for! I had a complete breakdown and I really wanted to hang my boots up and bow out quietly. Although I’m very lucky in a lot of ways because I have the most amazing family.

Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, Europe
