A.S. Face 1842: Refael Phillips
I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis in 2000 whilst I was at post grad med school doing my PhD in psychiatry. In the beginning it was analgesics that kept me going (not very well) but I was determined to keep going. I had a brilliant rheumy in London (he retired) and most of the time had great docs. Now I’m on biologics, but after neurosurgery in C-spine in 2014 everything is a struggle. AS took from me the only important parts of my life: my marriage, my job and my mental health.
