Q&A | ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS!

Hi guys!
In this video I answer some of your questions about my experience of living with a disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis (also know as Axial Spondyloarthritis). Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an auto-immune disease that causes inflammatory back pain in my spine and sacroiliac joints. If untreated this inflammation can cause me a lot of pain and make it very difficult to walk and carry out daily tasks.
Despite my Ankylosing Spondylitis I am currently travelling the world. Since being diagnosed in September 2017 I have learnt techniques to help my look after my spine and have been put on medication which currently manages the inflammation. I made these videos to help others like me realise that they are not alone. This is because when I was first diagnosed I struggled to find others my age with the disease on social platforms.
Here is the video I made about my AS story. It explains a bit about me, the symptoms I had, and when I was diagnosed:

DISCLAIMER: I am not a qualified to give medical advice about AS and this is not what I am attempting to do. I am a patient who is blogging about their experience of living with the disease in an attempt to help others. Always check the facts and listen to your medical professionals.
