Sabrina
Hi i am sabrina i’m 29 and i got diagnosed with AS last year after years of pain and countless trips to see my GP and hearing that “i was not old enough for there to be anything that bad to be wrong with me” and ” i would have to just get used to it” ect even though i’ve had osteoarthritis in my knees since i was little and would just send me home with pain killers . I finally changed my doctors surgery and got sent to see a rheumatologist who diagnosed me with AS, Hypermobility symdrome and Fibromyalgia. Now i struggle to do the most simplest tasks and on that rare day i feel able to do this or that, it causes so much pain that i struggle to move for a few days after, but i’m not going to let it beat me and keep me down, i will keep fighting
