Guest guest Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi everyone! My name is & I have several health conditions. The list is very long, but I was just diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I am very upset and scared about it, so much so that I have not been able to even do any reading on how to manage it. I am too afraid to even LOOK at the information. I have heard so many terrible things such as surgery from spinal bones fusing together. I am very happily married & we have 3 dogs. My husband is extremely supportive and I am lucky to have his support. I also have the following: Trigeminal Neuralgia Herniated disc in my neck bulging discs in my back Sacrolitis Edema in my Sacrum Severe Osteoarthritis for a 34 year old (which baffles my DR since it's rather advanced for my age). Colitis and severe bunions that need surgery, but I haven't decided on that yet. So, I think that is it, but of course I am sure i have forgotten something!!!LOL. Oh yeah, Asthma is one I forgot. LOL! Anyway, I am glad to have found this group. I truly look forward to hearing from anyone on AS and their experiences with it or any type of arthritis. Thanks!
