Nicole Patterson
Hi I’m Nicole Patterson I go by Nikki and I was diagnosed with AS in 2009 and oh boy it’s been a long hard journey full of pain and frustration especially at only 35 years old. I just want to network myself with anyone and everyone that has AS! WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER AND OUR EXPERIENCES TO HELP EACH OTHER especially now a days with so few dr’s that are familiar and educated about AS. I was in the ER all night Tuesday with chest pains to be told my heart is fine but they think it might be related to AS… Geez thanks! Then I received this information from reaching out to others that have AS on facebook.
I look forward to being another face of AS. I have my bachelors in Spanish, International Business and Computer Information Systems but I have been unable to work because of AS.
