Garth Woods
My name is Garth Woods. I am 52 years old and I was diagnosed with AS three years ago although I’ve suffered with symptoms since my mid-thirties. I also have iritis and osteoporosis. The pain is fairly constant and I have tried several drug treatments, and also participated in a clinical study for a new anti tnf drug. None of these were effective so for now I manage the pain with a prescription nsaid.
My wife is very supportive and we were blessed with the birth of our first child, Christopher, in January 2011.
Life is good.
