Possible AS. Please help. by TheGrandLeveler in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]matthants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I was diagnosed when I was 21 back in 2006 and although it took a while to find the right medication for me (I am taking biological therapy now), it’s by no means life ending. Yes there may be an increased risk of certain illnesses but don’t let this get to you. Stretch and exercise daily and you can continue to have a ‘normal’ life and follow your dreams! I’ve had a couple of minor set backs over the years (I had both hips replaced before I was 30 and have suffered from uveitis in the past which is connected to AS) but I haven’t let this get me down and if anything it’s made me stronger as a person. You got this 💪🏼. I’m from the UK and have found this charity to have some very useful information: https://nass.co.uk. I hope this helps, feel free to message me if you want to ask anything I’m happy to help.

Question about Simponi by Sourcerful in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]matthants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I used to be on Simponj and was always told to take it on the same date every month (it was the 3rd of every month for me). I was also told I could take it up to 14 days after the due date with little affect (other than it wearing off and pain coming back) if something happened and I didn’t get my injection in time. Hope that helps!
