Physical activity is REALLY good for AS. Despite being flat on my back for the past 2 days (just coming out of a flare), I know that I feel better when I move - research even shows that exercise like yoga decreases inflammation in the body.

I just saw this new campaign on Youtube:

I watched the other related videos, and although they're grossly simplifying AS (and continuing the myth that it's mostly a MALE disorder), I like the KickAS spirit.

As an aerial/trapeze artist, I was really in tune with my body pre-spondy. Pre-Humira, I was about to give up, and then the medicines began working. Although I get flattened about once a month, I keep going. Things are different, but I appreciate my life and ability to simply move even more. Gratefulness and thankfulness to God keeps me positive. He has a purpose through everything.

We *will* KickAS!
