Just discovered NASS! It took 7 years for me to be diagnosed with AS. Though I also got diagnosed with MS last year, and there's a lot more help and information given to you about MS compared to AS! This definitely needs to change! Sadly I can't take NSAIDs because of my gastritis, and frustratingly my biologics aren't working! Definitely gonna check out your website!

Lovely message 🙏🏾❤humbled by your words 🙏🏾🤍

For years I thought it was because I was unfit and putting on abit of chub. took a few years for them to figure it out been told a Lier many time haha and now not as bad as it used to be, I spent many hours lying on the floor crying cos of the pain but oh well. The Army is not the best place to get AS as they don't believe you. Glad I got out when I did wouldn't of lasted much longer.
