Hi everyone,

I was recently diagnosed with axSpa and I’m really struggling right now. I’m in pain, exhausted, and grieving the picture I had of my future pretty hard.

I just started Cimzia (day 4), so I know it’s early - and my symptoms are still very up and down and it’s messing with my head.

I’m not looking for false reassurance, but I really need to hear from people who are doing okay.
Are there people here who are living a good life with AS?
Who aren’t constantly in pain and exhausted?
Who found something that worked and got their life back?

Please, if you’re in a good place, I would really appreciate hearing from you.
I don’t think I can handle negative stories right now.

Thank you 🤍
