Hi Liza, my name is Volodymyr I from Ukraine. I have Bechterev's illness

So sorry to hear you have to deal with this disease. My mom has the same problems due to her spine and arthritis.

Mary Christopherson so sorry your mom has the same problems. ❤️

I think I'm about to be diagnosed with it, I have the back & horrible groin pain, along with my first ever bout with plantar fasciitis, recent red eye & swollen knuckles.

[@Alex-io6ky]

how's it going now ..did you find anything to help symptoms ?

[@ItsJustMe-nq1dg]

I have AS too. Think about all the poor women that never got to a diagnosis because it’s a “man’s disease.” SMH…

[@danplugaru8187]

Not because is " a man desease"...is because AS în women manifest different!!...you have psoriazis form!!

[@denisewhite11385]

Most of us that have AS are HLA-B27 positive.
