Sara
Hello! My name is Sara, was diagnosed with AS 10 years ago this month. I was 15 when I was diagnosed, luckily it didn’t take doctors long.I am the only one (so far) in my family who has shown symptoms of AS. I am also HBLA-27 positive. At times I resent this condition, but at times I am grateful for the lessons it has taught me about people, about life, about myself. My AS goes from remission to full blown flare in a matter of hours. For me the worst has part has been my pregnancy and dealing with 3 horrible, scary flares of Uveitis. Right now, I am in the process of managing my pain and flares with Humira. It is a miracle drug! I was fortunate enough to marry a man who loves me despite all of my troubles and is the best support in the world.
Dear Sara,
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
Sincerely Cookie
