A.S brings it's daily challenges for most of us, no doubt. Seems to effect different parts of my body now.
Neither have I experienced any type of remission from my A.S,
Yes I suppose most sufferers find their condition changes as time goes on. The last few years have been rather bad only they now tell me it is more of a ligament thing Enthesitis rather than joint problem. All I know is that it still bloody hurts whatever the cause.
I must admit that even after all these years I still get concerned whenever I get a pain somewhere that I have never had a pain before. The doctors and us patients are all too apt to put any new pain down to being just some other A.S. thing rather than investigate such things as they should.
There have been times when I thought my A.S. was in a state of remission or at least very near remission. There was one of about eight years when I really thought this is it that damn disease has at last left me. So we make the best of any chance we get to live as normal a life as we can and just get on with it.
