Diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis - Now What? | Can You Live a Normal Life with AS?

Just got diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis? Feeling confused? Alone? Scared? You're in the right place! In todays video I talk about a few things to hopefully help put you at ease if you recently got diagnosed with AS. I have lived with the condition for over a decade and with some work and a "can do" attitude, I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be the end of the world! Ankylosing Spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. I hope this video is helpful and helps you see that you can still live a completely full life - it just takes a bit of determination :) As always feel free to leave any questions below!
