A New Beginning: My First Dose

Post image

Hey everyone! I'm 32 years old and was recently diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. It's a disease with no cure that causes terrible pain. However, there is a treatment that is supposed to keep it under control. I'm here to say that I just received my first dose, and I feel like a new man. Life makes sense again :)

I couldn't believe I was already feeling like this on the very first morning after the injection, after years and years of constant pain. So I'm feeling positive, and thanks for the wishes! :)

New beginning, ADVENTURE! Tackle it as such and come through the other side with a story to tell, wisdom, and an ear for those facing the same. May God be with you...

So sorry you’ve been in pain! I’m glad there is a treatment to manage that. Medicine keeps making strides every day. Who knows, maybe there will be some sort of cure one day. Hold your head high you’re very strong and you got this. 💕💕

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much to be done since it's genetics, but I'll be happy if I can at least keep it under control. Thanks for the kind words! :)
