Denise Love
My name is Denise Love. I am 45 yrs old. I was born and raised in Union Beach, New Jersey. I was diagnosed with AS in 2002 but have been suffering since 1995.I carry the HLA-B27 gene as does my mother. I am a mother of 2 sons, ages 17 and 23. I am married for close to 20 years but unfortunately I am in the process of divorce. My husband couldn’t handle all the limitations that AS has brought upon my life. I have been to sooo many doctors, been on so many different medications, been through physical therapy countless times and barely any relief. I honestly don’t remember what it is like to have a full night sleep or wake up and feel rested and not be in pain. Sometimes I feel very alone and keep my pain to myself so I don’t feel judged. I was so happy to find your site on FB. To see I am not alone and actually hear there are so many people that know what I am going through on a daily basis. I am so thankful God has lead me here. 🙂
