What is your ankylosing spondylitis story? Let's share!

@Courtney_J Hi Courtney, thanks for keeping us busy on here! I was diagnosed about 10 years ago now in my 40's. I had been having a lot of pain and stiffness in my lower back over the years and eventually it got to the point where I went to the doctor for it. Low and behold, after a few scans and things they told me I had AS! I'd never even heard of it. I'm currently taking Cosentyx and it's been really great for me. 

@Courtney_J I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago. I'd been having severe back and neck pain. I assumed that it was from my years of dance as a kid and teen or from scoliosis, so I was shocked when they told me what it was. I've started taking some prescription NSAIDs and I'll be starting physical therapy and some yoga classes soon.
