Hey I have AS aswell. I really didnt know there were so many of you out there!! Its nice to know im not alone. I used to take Vioxx and i was really sad to see it go. With the pain I feel I would much rather have a heart attack due to Vioxx than feel this pain. I have been taking Embril for about 2 years now and I love it. I have not noticed myself getting more sick than any other year. It works and lets you do your stretches and every day normal things. If you havnt tried it then try it. :-)

Hello all. My name is Joshua Burris and ive been a sufferer of AS for about two years now. Ive been through the pain, the doctors visits and the medicines and its all complete bullshit. Doctors keep you ignorant to the fact that there is a way to put this disease into remission. I bought a book that has changed my life and i wanted to spread the word. Its a book that will endow you with the knowledge to put your AS into remission. The authors name is Joel Godin.

@wally1207 hey i am the same age as you, diagnosed with severe AS last year after spending years in pain i need a new hip at 26 but i am not phased there are medications out there that can help trust me i am on humira and it helps ALOT. This time last year i was in a dark place didn't know where to turn but stick at it we are a lot stronger than most people out there for putting up with this constant unrelenting pain day in day out. Now i have changed my view, i don't have AS, AS has me.

Thankyou for this video, i am 26, they think i have AS, but they cant confirm anything as i havn't fused yet, but they think i am possibly getting this condition, i am also legally blind and find this condition with my back and joints very hard to cope with, but hope inthe future something can be done.. im pretty sure i have AS, we need to support one another and get through this together.
