I was just diagnosed with AS this year, after suffering for 12 years with no name to put to this crippling disease. I am 26 years old. It feels good to finally know that it’s NOT all in my head, and that I am NOT alone. It’s tough to know that this will be a life-long struggle, but I try to continue doing the things I love, like riding horses, until I am no longer physically able to climb in the saddle…
