Sounds like a familiar story, I was diagnosed with AS when I was 18 when I could no longer pursue my golfing career. The last 2 years I've been on HUMIRA and its changed my life, significantly for the better. I ran a marathon last year, something that would be physically impossible without this drug. Hats off to the medicos that do the research and create these great new drugs.

I was told I will prob never be able to play baseball again. Not due to my AS, but because my arm was out by age 14. My AS was so great by age 17, I could no longer do much of anything. I'm now on Remicade. I'm 27 years old. Hope they find a cure one day!
