Joy Boyd

Diagnosed with oa, ddd, fibromyalgia and RA in 2010. In 2017 they found the first signs of fusion and the fight against AS was on. At 60 y/o, i am left with surgical options to fix the joints and spine. I have 2 joints that are unaffected, that is the jaw and the elbows. i am thankful to still be able to raise a glass of pepsi everyday. I refuse to let AS rob me of my small joys.
