Hello, I am another newbie to KickAS. I have been reading some of the posts and decided it was time for me to share a little bit about myself. I am currently 20 years old and a college student. About a year and a half ago, I started having back problems that prevented me from sitting, standing, or laying for more than a couple minutes at a time. It took about 8 months before I was diagnosed with AS. I have been going to physical therapy and have been taking Azulfidine and Naproxen. At my last appointment with my rheumatologist, he gave me some information on different possibilities for treatments: Injections: Enbrel, Humira, Remicade Tablets: Leflunomide, Methotrexate. I have been watching the informational videos and reading the pamphlets on the different medications, but I wanted some input for others who were taking the medication before I started treatment. I’m not a big fan of needles and some of the side effects worry me, but I want to do whatever I can to slow down the process of AS. I appreciate any input.
